The European Commission is investigating whether it ever dealt with the director of a Hungarian company linked to the production of pagers that exploded and injured thousands of Hezbollah terrorists.
The devices had markings matching pagers manufactured by Taiwanese company Gold Apollo. However, the company itself claimed that the AR-924 model used in the attacks was manufactured and sold by Hungarian company BAC Consulting, which was licensed to use the Gold Apollo brand.
The LinkedIn profile of Cristiana Barsogni-Arcidiacono, CEO of BAC Consulting, claims that she had experience working for the European Commission. However, the representative of the European Commission, Balazs Ujvari, denied this information and stated that Barsogne-Arcidiacono “has nothing to do with the European Commission”.
“Whether the individual was ever involved in any of these activities, that’s not something I can answer right now, we’re checking that, we’re investigating it,” he said.
Barsogne-Arcidiacono told NBC on Wednesday that her company worked with Gold Apollo but denied the allegations related to the production of explosive pagers. She explained: “I don’t make pagers. I’m just a middleman. I think you have the wrong idea.”
Previously, Kursor wrote that according to information provided by a senior Lebanese security source and another source, the Israeli spy agency Mossad planted a small amount of explosives in 5,000 Taiwanese-made pagers that were ordered by the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah.
This happened several months before the explosions that occurred the day before.
