⚡️According to the Financial Times, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad transferred $250 million in cash to Russia between 2019 and 2021. Assad is estimated to have amassed a fortune of over $2 billion stolen from Syria over the years, with much of it stashed in Russia and Gulf countries. For context, Syria's GDP is less than $8.98 billion, smaller than that of the Brazilian state of Sergipe.
