  • News alert from NRK (Norwegian state media), published a few minutes ago:

    Norwegian in [pager explosion] case is wanted internationally

    The Norwegian [Rinson Jose] who is connected to the sale of exploding pagers in Lebanon was yesterday officially reported missing. On Thursday, Kripos [The National Criminal Investigation Service] issued an international wanted notice for the person, the police said.

    On Monday, NRK could report that the Norwegian was still not back at work. The employer said they were going to have a meeting with the police to report him missing.

    Apparently no one, including his friends and family, has heard from him since the first terror attack in Lebanon. Rinson got on a plane for a business trip to Boston the day of the attack, but never checked into his hotel or showed up at the conference he was there to attend. All traces of him ends in the U.S.

    Friends and family claim they had no knowledge of the firm (Norta Global) he was running in Bulgaria. Rinson’s social media profiles only shows him running a company called NortaLink, which is based in Norway. His profile also shows up on Founders Nation, a website that aims to connect Israeli entrepreneurs and co-founders.






  • Norwegian citizen linked to the pagers that exploded in Lebanon (Norwegian state media NRK, machine translated)

    According to several media, the company is registered in Bulgaria’s capital Sofia and is owned by a person with Norwegian citizenship.

    The webpage of the company the Norwegian is linked to contained a presentation of various technical and advisory services as late as around 11 o’clock on Thursday. It has since been emptied of content and now only displays a message about missing content.

    PST [Norwegian Police Security Service] is aware of the claims from various international media that a Norwegian-owned company is said to have been involved in the sale of pagers. PST cannot confirm this information, nor can we provide further comments on the matter, communications director Trond Hugubakken writes to NRK.

    Several Norwegian media outlets have tried to get in contact with him. He’s registered on an address in Oslo, and was apparently (and still is I think?) on an oversea business trip when the terror attacks in Lebanon happened. One newspaper (VG) went to his address and knocked on his door. They got no response. When they asked his neighbors, they were told that they haven’t seen the man since the summer vacation in July.

    It was the man’s own employer (in Norway) who reported him to PST:

    The man’s employer informs VG that he was called by an American journalist sent on Wednesday evening and made allegations about the employee’s connection to the company in Bulgaria.

    “I checked some links and was able to see the same as he had put. When I receive information that apparently looks serious in such an inflamed case, it was natural for me to notify PST immediately,” says the man’s employer

    edit: from CBS, revealing the name of both the company and the Norwegian owner (Rinson Jose):

    Separate records reviewed by CBS News show that Norta Global Ltd. was registered as a company in Bulgaria in April 2022, with its sole owner listed as a Norwegian citizen named Rinson Jose. Global Norta is described on its website — which has since been taken offline — as offering a range of services "from outsourcing, consulting, tech and payment integration, analysis, promotion of techno products and services, as well as the estimation and processing of relevant commercial transactions.
