The former Assad loyalist who is also a cousin of the president said security forces were pursuing contracts signed by Cham Holding on suspicion he had embezzled funds abroad. Washington enacted sweeping sanctions on Syria last month known as the Caesar Act targeting new lists of individuals and companies who support Assad’s government, among them entities owned by Makhlouf.

He later blasted the “inhumane” arrests of his aides in an unprecedented attack on the government from within Assad’s inner circle, exposing a deep rift within the ruling elite. He added that he would not surrender his wealth under intimidation.

syria popülaritesi is 10 milion, 9 milion are refugies. Dictator esed stil talks

This is actually kinda funny when you think about it. 'The billionaire and others close to him are under U.S. sanctions for what Washington calls public corruption.'

Oh? Do tell.

sisu_sanity Somebody should tell Rami Makhlouf that he has a right to remain silent. He is admitting to serious crimes, and these admissions can be used against him in a criminal trial.

Is he still King of Syria by way of Moscow currently residing in Moscow?

Bucket Bashare, wueila, send us more Mask in eope and in the states, Obama will provide to pay you greatfully.

Assad so poor he started robbing his family and relatives ... His end is nearing

Let Syria live in Peace. If you feel you need to make war with everyone, first ask your psychiatrist if it is the case of some Xanax. Maybe it's just Anxiety. I do take Xanax, it works perfectly.

ASSad is at his weakest financially.

Asad je sráč. Doporučujeme ho zabít.
