Rebrab back to Algeria from Paris via Bejaia Airport

Official sources told “Echorouk” that Algerian business magnet and owner of the agri-food complex “Cevital”, Issad Rebrab, returned the day before yesterday at around midday, to Algeria, from Paris, via Bejaia airport, on a plane belonging to the airline company “Aigle Azur”.

Mr Rebrab’s return to the homeland totally refutes some recent media reports regarding the purported issuance of an arrest warrant against him, with the latter ostensibly demanding guarantees for his freewheeling movement in Algeria from the authorities concerned following his public bitter row with the industry and mines minister in relation to a conflicting  investment deal in France.

In this line, the Director General of National Security, Major General Abdelghani Hamel, stressed of late from the city of Laghouat, that his services had received no arrest warrant against business leader Issad Rebrab, saying that he is free to go back to the homeland with no constraints despite the media uproar ignited about the conflicting matter.

Some related sources suggested to “Echorouk” that by choosing to fly back home through Bejaia airport, Issad Rebrab knew well that the residents of this eastern province would give him their absolute support and wouldn’t waver, if need be, to take to the streets in protest in case he was rounded up.

Earlier, Issad Rebrab, was on a tour of several Brazilian cities with the aim of securing deals for the marketing of “corn” products around the world. In so doing, he projected to set up facilities in ports areas around the Amazon, to ensure that the corn produced by Brazilian peasants and meant for export, is funneled towards the countries of the world.

Mr Rebrab then explained in a publication on his official Facebook page that he is striving to develop the iron and steel industry installations and ports in order to benefit from the growth of agricultural activity and products in Brazil.

He pointed out that the Brazilian corn’s transfer costs prohibitive amounts of money because it is produced in the center of Brazil, where the single ton costs $ 80 dollars, added to the transportation costs of up to $ 150 dollars.

“Our goal is to propose special production techniques to the Brazilian farmers Brazilians” said Mr Rebrab, adding that he will also propose in return for corn products with what is produced in various Fertilizer-linked industries around the world, highlighting by the same token the importance for Algeria to benefit from his profit-yielding investments abroad to ensure national food security.
