Despite international sanctions imposed on Syria's repressive regime, an official document unveiled one of the manipulative methods used by the regime to supply the requirements of its oppressive equipment by maneuvering around the international law.
The document obtained by Zaman Alwasl and goes back to a year ago, dealt with the subject of (bulletproof vests) and revealed that the supplier is providing these vests in parts, hiding them in imported clothes and products coming to Syria to be collected together again after a while.
The letter dated on 29/9/2013 and directed to the minister of interior to inform him of their inability to sew the word (police) on the vests ( repeated in the document as “poles”) and that the supplier sends the cloth with the word “police” written on it independently via the giant international shipping company "DHL", and here a question arises about the company’s failure to abide by the international sanctions and implement them , especially with the presence of an official letter that proves the company’s direct cooperation with regime’s ministry of interior and not through civilian intermediaries.
The document draw the minister’s attention to the fact that the cloth is being sewed in the country of origin , which makes transferring and importing it quite a difficult task due to the sanctions , without stating the details of the country of origin involved in violating the sanctions or the supplier’s name.
Noting that Zaman Al Wasl has got a group of documents which prove that the largest suppliers of these bulletproof vests are: metri Palace Melli , the Lebanese company Azzer offshore , as well as Daabul Noordin Mohammed Saeed al Wahhab , who reportedly been mentioned in documents belonging to two decades , including one that provided the regime with 500 vests , and another with 495 vests.
Morever, Zaman Alwasl has got another document which shows that "DHL" has shipped explosive devices in favor of the regime which will be published later revealing the name of the supplying agents.
________________
Zaman Alwasl publishes these official documents to inform about individuals and companies that deal with Assad’s ministry of interior, and mainly directed to the governments that imposed sanctions on this regime, in order to investigate about these individuals and entities and hold them accountable, hoping to fill some fraud gaps and weaken regime’s ability to get supplies for its equipment which are used in killing Syrians daily.
