Academi is an American
private military company founded in 1997 by former
Navy SEAL officer
Erik
Prince[2][3]
as Blackwater,[4]
renamed as Xe Services in 2009 and now known as Academi since 2011 after
the company was acquired by a group of private investors.[5]
The company received widespread notoriety in 2007, when a
group of its employees were convicted of killing 14 Iraqi civilians in Nisour
Square, Baghdad for which four guards were convicted in a U.S. court.[6][7]
Academi provides security services to the United States federal government on a
contractual basis. Since 2003, the group has provided services to the
Central Intelligence Agency. In 2013, Academi subsidiary International
Development Solutions received an approximately $92 million contract for State
Department security guards.[8]
In 2014, Academi became a division of
Constellis Holdings along with
Triple Canopy and other security companies that were part of the Constellis
Group as the result of an acquisition.[9][10]
