I-flex Solns employees detained in Amsterdam

‘‘The exact scope of the investigation so far has not been disclosed to i-Flex. Based on questions asked, it is our understanding that the investigation relates to visa matters,’’ the financial solutions provider said in a release. The company said its lawyers in the UK and the Netherlands are in touch with the respective authorities on this matter. ‘‘Most of the employees have been asked to leave the country within a week while the CEO was detained on request from Dutch authorities,’’ it said. i-Flex has already initiated a high level effort in close collaboration with the India’s Ministries of External Affairs and IT and NASSCOM (National Association of Software Companies) apart from the respective consulates to secure immediate release of its CEO.

The Indian firm said it is also working towards ensuring early and safe return of concerned employees and their families from Netherlands, where it is predominantly in the business of providing software solutions for banking since May 2000. It is also in touch with customers and has initiated necessary steps to address any potential impact to customers and ensure continued proactive support, it added.
