The secret drug empire: How Captagon financed the Assad regime!
After the fall of the authoritarian Syrian Dictator Bashar al-Assad, HTS rebels have made a significant discovery: They found the secret drug supplies of the Assad regime, which mainly consisted of the popular cheap drug capagon. According to Today. Drug production in Syria, for which estimates were almost 55 billion euros annually, was spread worldwide and extended to Europe.
The luxurious way of life of the ex-dictator
In the middle of the rebellion, videos are also circulating that document the extravagant lifestyle of Assad and his family. Over 40 luxury cars, including a Ferrari F50 worth three million US dollars, were discovered in his palace. Experts appreciate that the assets of Bashar al-Assad lies between one and two billion dollars, the assets of his entire family is estimated on double -digit billions. This immense accumulation of wealth was partly the result of its control over the Syrian economy and its participation in lucrative drug trafficking.
The investigation into the role of the 4th division, which is involved in the production of Captagon, could give further insights into the extent of this shadow economy in the coming days. Observers emphasize that Syrian drug trafficking was heavily dependent on the regime's political and military structures. These entanglements illustrate the profound connections between drug trafficking and the power structure of the Assad family, which the country dominated over five decades.
