Taiwanese authorities question head of pager firm linked to Lebanon blasts
Authorities questioned the founder of Gold Apollo, the Taiwanese firm linked to pagers that detonated across Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday, in an apparent Israeli espionage operation targeting Hezbollah members.
Hsu Ching-kuang declined to answer questions as he left the Taipei offices of Taiwan’s prosecutors on Thursday evening. He told reporters earlier this week Gold Apollo did not produce the pagers in question, and they were made by Hungarian firm BAC that had licensed its design and branding.
A second person seen leaving the prosecutors office on Thursday was Teresa Wu, the only employee at a company called Apollo Systems Ltd who Hsu said earlier this week had been one of his points of contact for the deal with BAC.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that BAC was part of a network of Israeli shell companies created to obfuscate links to Israeli intelligence.
Taiwanese authorities have not issued a statement yet regarding their investigation into Gold Apollo.
