French Capgemini sells subsidiary that made contract with US immigration police

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 17:21

The French consulting firm Capgemini announced the sale of its subsidiary Capgemini Government Solutions to the US company ITC Federal. The announcement was made today and marks Capgemini's exit from a business that had generated some controversy.

The sale comes after criticism directed at Capgemini related to a contract established with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known by the acronym ICE. This federal agency is responsible for enforcing immigration and customs laws in the United States.

Capgemini Government Solutions was the subsidiary involved in the contract with ICE. The transaction to ITC Federal now allows the French company to dissociate itself from this relationship that had attracted public scrutiny.

Why this matters

This sale is relevant for readers with interests in French companies or the technology sector, as it demonstrates how public pressure over controversial contracts can lead to strategic divestment decisions. Capgemini, one of the largest consulting firms in the world, is divesting a subsidiary that generated controversy, while ITC Federal will expand its presence in the US government solutions sector.

Manuel earns €15,000 per month from a successful business that started at home: "I earn €500 per day"

Manuel, an entrepreneur from Palma de Mallorca, in Spain, started about ten years ago washing cars in his home garage, for friends and acquaintances, and transformed this activity into a business that earns between 10,000 and 15,000 euros per month, with daily revenues between 300 and 500 euros. His service evolved from conventional washes to more specialized detailing cleanings, serving between three and five cars per day, and he implemented a monthly subscription system (€15.99 for quick washes and €45.90 for complete cleaning). Despite the success, he faced bureaucratic difficulties, including the temporary closure of the establishment due to an urban planning infraction. Manuel estimates that a manual car wash business can start with an initial investment of five to ten thousand euros.

Portugal increasingly uses arbitration, but supply remains concentrated

Portugal reached a historic record in 2025 with 16,524 arbitration cases filed, an 11% increase compared to 2024, driven mainly by consumer arbitration, which facilitated citizens' access to alternative dispute resolution. The most frequent disputes involve insurance, transportation, and essential services such as electricity, gas, and water. Although there are 40 authorized arbitration centers in Portugal, commercial arbitration remains concentrated in a single center in Lisbon, and 89% of arbitrators are men aged between 40 and 60. Experts warn that growing demand may overload the centers, which must strengthen resources and diversify institutional offerings, while also drawing attention to the need for public investment in state courts.
