Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>A Portuguese man is set to face an extradition hearing in Madrid over allegations he was involved in the devastating 2020 port explosion in Beirut, authorities said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The man, named in court as Jorge Manuel Mirra Neto Moreira, flew to Chile from the Spanish capital this week but was put on a plane back to Madrid after Chilean authorities detained him at the request of global police agency Interpol.<\/p>\n

He appeared before a Madrid high court judge on Wednesday and was released on bail while he awaits an extradition hearing.<\/p>\n

Lebanon\u2019s justice minister Henry Khoury did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether Lebanon would seek the man\u2019s extradition. Extradition processes in Spain can take several months.<\/p>\n

Moreira is not allowed to leave Spain. His passport has been taken away and he must appear before authorities on a weekly basis, a judicial source said.<\/p>\n

Beirut blast: Tracing the explosives that tore the capital apart \u2013 cargo on board ship cargo on board ship heading to Mozambique 7 years ago<\/p>\n

Beirut: Cargo was destined for Mozambique and was replaced by another order<\/p>\n

At least 215 people died in August 2020 in Lebanon when ammonium nitrate stored at the port for nearly seven years exploded in one of the biggest non-nuclear explosions ever recorded.<\/p>\n

Lebanon\u2019s NNA news agency said in January last year that Interpol Red Notices had been issued for the Russian captain and owner of the ship that brought the chemicals in, and for a Portuguese trader who examined the cargo at Beirut port in 2014.<\/p>\n

The Spanish judicial source said Moreira faced charges of terrorism and possession of explosives, which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. He did not elaborate on the nature of the charges.<\/p>\n

A source from Portugal\u2019s national criminal investigation police unit PJ said that Moreira had previously appeared before a court in the northern Portuguese city of Porto as a result of the Interpol notice, but the court shelved the case because Lebanon failed to send the required documentation.<\/p>\n

The same could happen in Spain if Lebanon does not send the needed documentation, the PJ source said.<\/p>\n

Chilean authorities confirmed Moreira was detained at the airport and sent back to Spain due to the Interpol warrant, while Spanish sources did not explain why Moreira was not arrested before boarding the flight to Chile.<\/p>\n
