Libertatea presented last week the desperate situation of the 45 Egyptian and Tunisian workers, who had to survive with the help of the Red Cross, after the Jordanian leader left them lepers and abandoned them in a villa in Sibiu. “I have not eaten meat in three months,” complain the workers, who ate until April 12 of the last 200 lei received in lieu of wages. Humanitarian aid came only after Easter.

Although the humanitarian crisis has been building since the beginning of April, and the situation was known to institutions such as IGI, ITM, the Egyptian Embassy and even the SRI, the first to help the workers were NGOs.

Egyptians and Tunisians are not the only foreign workers reaching the end of their power amid the COVID-19 epidemic. Libertatea has already presented the Sri Lankan case of Botosani, confiscated for hours in two coaches and deliberately exposed to coronavirus infection because they requested to remain in isolation for 14 days, after a compatriot of his took COVID-19.

In the newspaper’s discussion with Arafat Mohd Ghaleb Mohd Abdel Rahim, the Jordanian businessman tried to “throw the cat” in everyone’s yard, from the builders he subcontracted to the workers, claiming that he, in turn, was stabbed. the institutions of the Romanian state and the Egyptian embassy in Bucharest.

“The builder gave us a great bet”

– Reporter: Hello. I just finished talking to your Tayba Europe representative.
– Arafat Mohd Ghaleb Mohd Abdel Rahim: Very good. Regarding Sibiu workers, we have no other sources, the builder gave us a large increase, he did not give us the money we needed, those of Construcții Sibiu SA. They only gave 5,000 RON. We have no agreement with them.

– So you’re saying that the company, in turn, was chopped up?
– yeah I can’t make money like that. I have funds for a month or two, not for life. When they arrived, I paid out of pocket, borrowed 85,000 euros from the company. I invested all this money in his work, and his work did not give me money. I told the workers to come to Bucharest. He started working here three weeks ago. I also got them lodging. But they did not want. They like to be there. She likes to be on television. I do not know. I just left them there for a few days. They said they had no food, I sent. At the beginning of the fourth month, say every 3,000, 3,000, 3,000. Ah, sorry, 300, 300, 300. For every worker, do you understand? I didn’t leave them like that.

– They say they received 200 lei.
– not. Then it is an act. A signed deed. I did not pay the salary because the company Construcții Sibiu gave me very little money. Now we have to go to court with this company. Hundred Problems That is the problem.

– But when the workers arrived in Tayba, they understand that they paid commissions of $ 3,500 in Egypt and $ 5,500 in Tunisia.
– Well I do not know! If they pay the commission there, what happens to me? Do you think the money is coming to me? I didn’t take any lion!

He claims that workers lie

– Well, weren’t you associated with the Egyptian who ran the Tayba company in Egypt?
“In Egypt.” They paid the money there. How much did they give? 1,000 euros?

– No, they say 3,500 euros.
“Ah no, liars!” I called someone and they told me how much everyone put in the bank, not me. Each man gave 1,200 euros. That is a big lie.

“And the Tunisians?”
-And Tunisians too. I don’t know Tunisian, I have a partner there who kept the contract with them.

– But the Egyptians have two contracts, one in Arabic for $ 1,500 and the other for $ 700, which were presented to them at the embassy.
– not. No. This is not true. Look at me. I have photos in Cairo. I met with them and said, well, did they pay me or the company? No one gave me money. This is the Romanian contract. Whoever wants to come for $ 700, who doesn’t want to, stays in Cairo.

– Why do you affirm that you have nothing to do with the company that took double their money and promised double the salary?
– Madam, I have nothing to do. They just gave me the workers, that’s all.

“So you’re saying that your Egyptian partner also stabbed you?”
“Look at me, I give you my partner, the Egyptian chief engineer Halil Safoon.”

– Then not Ghamal Halil, the Egyptian companion?
– yeah But he is a partner in the Egyptian company, not the European company. Companies have nothing to do with each other. Ghamal Halil is the one who took money from the workers in Egypt. And he went to jail there, not for that, for another. He went to jail, has a trial and now he has gone home because it is COVID-19. He took money from another world, not just from the workers in Sibiu.

“Well how did you get into business with such a dirty man?”
– I did not know. Dumbass. He said he had workers. I said yes. That was my mistake. That I brought better workers from Bangladesh and India. Don’t worry. I’m not making a fuss. I’m not saying anything. But they are causing a scandal. If I had known, then I would not have brought it.

“I am tired of them”

“But they are your Arabs.”
– Yes, but it is a scandal. Look at me, ma’am, when you arrived in January, you couldn’t work. I left them there in the villa with food, accommodation, heat, everything. The same is true for the first fortnight of February. You understand? My 40-year-old workers worked well in Sibiu. But I didn’t take any money from Sibiu. Everyone who took 1 leu from us has the signature. There is no one who has not received their salary for 3-4 months. We have the signature. We have the act. If you want, I will bring you all the signed documents. We pay accommodation for your villa.

– The owner told us that the rent had not been paid since March.
“Yes, but they didn’t bring as much money as the rent.” I took money out of my pocket to put it away. And now that we have work, they don’t want to work. They were talking. I can’t go talk to them in Sibiu. I am tired of them.

“I couldn’t work because of the virus”

– I understand that someone is hiring you, now you have sent the documents to IGI.
– She is not allowed. How to be allowed? We have a contract. I paid for people when they came here. This company that wants to take it from us, I’m going to cause problems for it.

“So are you going to sue them?”
– yeah How to make employees have the right to revoke contracts. The administrator does not have to sign the decision to leave. I did not sign anything. Where’s our right? Others are right and we have nothing. He is my employee. To come to work

“Even if they weren’t paid?”
– Well, we couldn’t work because of the corona virus. They have technical unemployment. They have to wait 30 days for completion, that’s the rule.
