On August 4, 2020, ammonium nitrate stored at the Port of Beirut in Lebanon detonated in one of the largest non-nuclear blasts in history, killing over 200 people and displacing more than 300,000.

An OCCRP investigation settled one of the biggest lingering questions: who actually owned the cargo? In this episode of "Dirty Deeds," Nick Wallis talks to OCCRP journalists Rana Sabbagh and Aubrey Belford about how they picked apart the opaque web of secrecy, scouring the globe from Russia to Mozambique to track down the true owner of the ammonium nitrate behind the devastating blast.
