Indian-born entrepreneur Rinson Jose, 39, was listed as the owner of a Bulgarian shell company that reportedly paid British-educated intermediary Cristiana Arcidiacono-Barsony £1.3million as part of a complex Mossad-orchestrated deal to obtain the pagers. The shell company, Norta Global LTD, was registered to an apartment building in Budapest that is home to nearly 200 other firms. His profile on Founders Nation, a site connecting entrepreneurs with Israeli start-ups described him as an ‘Entrepreneur minded business developer looking for a co-founder or like-minded people to start a venture.’ Jose is understood to have left on a pre-planned business trip on Tuesday. But bosses at his primary employer, Norwegian media conglomerate NHST, have been unable to reach him since - and reportedly contacted Norway’s domestic intelligence service late on Wednesday night after becoming aware of his links to the attacks in Lebanon late. There is no suggestion that Jose was in any way aware of the clandestine plot to lace the pagers with high explosives, or aware that the ultimate buyer, Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono who has denied involvement in the plot, was working with Israel’s security services.
