Kerala-born businessman Rinson Jose’s name had cropped up in the walkie-talkie and pager blasts in Lebanon. Since then, this person having Norwegian citizenship is absconding. Norway has now issued an international warrant against Jose. The accused is being investigated for being part of the supply chain of a Bulgaria-based firm that provided pagers to Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah. These pagers were detonated by Israel, resulting in the death of 30 people and injuries to thousands across Lebanon.
Hungarian media outlet Telex reported on the matter in early September, reporting that the Bulgarian company Norta Global Ltd. was behind the pager deal. This Bulgaria-based firm was founded by 39-year-old Rinson Jose in the year 2022. The report said that Jose is a citizen of Norway. However, Bulgaria denied the connection of Jos and his company to the exploding pagers. It is known that Rinson Jose was born in Wayanad, Kerala. After completing his MBA, he moved to Norway. Kerala-based channels met his family and relatives, who revealed that Jose had moved to Norway after completing his MBA degree.
Went to US and didn’t know anything again
According to the report, Norway is now busy searching for Rinson Jose. It was told that last week he went to America for work and then there is no trace of him. In such a situation, the Norwegian police has appealed for an international search for Jose in the case related to the sale of pager. “On September 25, Oslo police received a complaint about a missing person in connection with a pager incident,” Norwegian police told Reuters. On this basis, the entire case has been opened and we have issued an international warrant for the accused. We are trying our best to catch Jose as soon as possible. We want to resolve this matter.
