Emtrasur Cargo

Emtrasur owned a Boeing 747-300M (YV3531, msn 23413) that previously belonged to Iranian airline Mahan Air, a company that American assistant secretary of export enforcement at the Department of Commerce, Matthew S. Axelrod, alleges has connections to Hezbollah.

Two days later, it took off for Uruguay but was denied entry into Uruguayan airspace and returned to Argentina, landing back at Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires.

The next day, the Argentine government allowed it to be flown to the United States where it landed at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport as TYSON23.

Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the seizure as a 'criminal act' of 'piracy and theft', calling the Argentine Government 'neo-Nazi'.

[7] The United States Department of Justice declared that the airplane would be "prepared for disposition" without elaborating on plans for the jet.
