The largest drug depot in Syria, managed by the brother of ousted leader Bashar al-Assad, Mahir al-Assad, has been seized by the opposition.

HERE IS THE LARGEST DRUG CENTER OF THE ASSAD FAMILY

The 61-year-old Ba'ath regime in Syria and the 53-year rule of the Assad family have been overthrown. Security forces affiliated with the new government announced the seizure of a large depot where drugs, including captagon pills, were produced and stored. It was reported that the depot was located at a military headquarters near Damascus, managed by Bashar al-Assad's brother Mahir al-Assad, although location details were not shared.

DRUG TRADE WAS A LIFELINE FOR ASSAD

Captagon, which is mostly composed of amphetamines and described as "the poor man's cocaine," is known to be a highly addictive drug. The Bashar al-Assad regime had smuggled captagon pills to oil-rich Arab Gulf countries, earning billions of dollars. It has been stated that the drug trade has become "an economic lifeline" for the Assad regime, which is under the influence of U.S. sanctions.

Meanwhile, the Saudi Arabia-based Al Arabiya newspaper reported this week that thousands of captagon pills were found at the Mazzeh Air Base in southern Damascus.
