The notices are for Russian businessman Igor Grechushkin, said to be the owner of the ship that delivered the ammonium nitrate into Beirut in 2013; the ship’s Russian captain, Borys Prokoshew; and Portuguese national Jorge Moreira, who allegedly purchased the ammonium nitrate. The red notices are not binding on countries, unlike international arrest warrants.
