Chilean police said yesterday, Wednesday, that they had apprehended a Portuguese individual wanted by Interpol in connection with the 2020 Beirut port explosion, which killed more than 200 people.

According to the police statement, the unidentified individual arrived in Santiago by plane from Spain before being returned to Madrid on another plane, according to the police statement.

Christian Saez, a Santiago airport police official, said the man is wanted for allegedly carrying into Lebanon "explosive materials" is connected to the catastrophic blast that hit Beirut port and caused extensive damage across the Lebanese capital.

The explosion in the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020, which the authorities attributed to storing large quantities of ammonium nitrate without preventive measures, killed at least 214 people and injured more than 6,500 others, in addition to extensive destruction in the capital.

The victims' families and friends organize frequent vigils to demand accountability for those involved, at a time when the investigation doesn't near any results, due to the response requests submitted by the accused (former MPs and ministers) against the judicial investigator, Tariq Al-Bitar, which led to the investigation being halted months ago.
