Assad Moves $250 Million From Syria To Moscow, Report Claims

A report revealed that ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad airlifted around $250 million in cash to Moscow between 2018 and 2019. The money, including $100 bills and 500-euro notes, was deposited in sanctioned Russian banks, bypassing Western sanctions. Assad’s regime, facing criticism for looting Syria, used Russia as a safe haven amid the ongoing civil war and economic collapse.
