After exporting rotten meat to Kosovo, Belgian companies are charged with exporting chemicals to Syria

Three Belgian companies are accused of exporting chemicals to Syria, one of which is said to have been used for the production of sarin gas, the Guardian reports, explains Periscopi.

Companies have said they acted with the reconciliation of Belgian customs between 2014 and 2016.

According to a British research group, Bellingcats, and a German non-profit organisation, Syran Archive, Belgium is the only EU state to export chemicals called isopropanol since July 2013, while there was a ban on chemical weapons ban.

The initialization of the case was done by Dutch authorities.

Between May 2014 and December 2016, there were 24 shipments to Syria from these companies, which were working together, and where they were holding 168 tonnes of isoppanol, 219 tonnes of aceton, 77 tonnes of methanol, and 21 tonnes of dichlorometal.

Sarin, who has been banned since 1993, is made up of a mix between the isopoppanolit methyphophyl diflide. /Periscopi
