Hungarian intelligence services interview CEO linked to pager explosions

Hungarian intelligence services have conducted interviews with Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono, the head of BAC Consulting, a Budapest-based company linked to Israel's operation detonating pagers in Lebanon.

On Wednesday, Taiwanese manufacturer Gold Apollo said that the pagers used in detonations in Lebanon were made by BAC Consulting, which had gained a licence to use Gold Apollo's branding.

Barsony-Arcidiacono, 49, the Italian-Hungarian CEO and owner of BAC Consulting, told NBC News earlier this week that she did not make the pagers and said she was "just the intermediate".

Hungarian intelligence agencies have been investigating the matter since Wednesday and have interviewed Barsony-Arcidiacono several times, a Hungarian government spokesperson said.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government earlier this week said that BAC Consulting was "a trading-intermediary company, which has no manufacturing or other site of operation in Hungary".
