Businesswoman connected to Lebanon pager bombing is currently in hiding.

Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, 49, is the CEO of BAC Consulting, a company that has recently come under scrutiny for its involvement in a series of pager explosions in Lebanon and Syria. The attacks, which were aimed at Hezbollah, resulted in the deaths of 37 people and injured over 3,000, including innocent civilians. These tragic events have caused Cristiana to go into hiding, according to recent reports.

It has been revealed that Cristiana's company, BAC Consulting, is linked to the manufacture of the pagers used in the attacks. As the CEO of the Budapest-based company, she is listed as the Taiwanese trademark holder of the devices. However, the Hungarian government has stated that the pagers were never in Hungary and that BAC Consulting only acted as an intermediary.

Despite this, the BAC Consulting website has mysteriously been taken down since last Wednesday. Cristiana's mother, Beatrix, 70, who resides in Catania, Sicily, has shared that her daughter has received unspecified threats and is now in a safe location, protected by agents of the Hungarian government. However, this has been denied by Hungarian officials.

Beatrix herself has been advised by the Hungarian secret services not to speak to the media and has simply stated, "No comment, no comment." She did, however, reveal that she has been in contact with her daughter and is certain that she was not involved in the plot.

According to Beatrix, Cristiana's only role in the situation was as a broker and the pagers did not pass through Budapest nor were they produced in Hungary. Neighbors in Catania have expressed shock at the news and one person who knows the family shared, "She could not have known. She is a very intelligent woman from a respectable family and would never be involved in something like this. If it is true, then she must have been deceived."

A family friend also expressed disbelief, stating, "I couldn't believe that Cristiana was the owner of a company capable of such a high-profile business." Cristiana's LinkedIn profile shows that she has a PhD in Physics from University College London and has worked with retired Hungarian professor and physicist Ákos Kövér. He stated that they had published joint articles in the past but he is not aware of her current activities and does not believe she has been involved in any scientific work since then.
