Zaman al-Wasl has learned that the Anti-Illicit Gains Authority recently reached a settlement with Syrian businessman Samer al-Fouz, a close associate of the Assad regime. The settlement entails the confiscation of 80% of his liquid and tangible assets, both movable and immovable.
An informed source confirmed that this settlement is purely financial and does not exempt al-Fouz from future criminal prosecution, as its effects are limited to the financial aspect only.
The source also indicated that this approach serves the interests of both the state and its citizens, as it provides the state treasury with substantial financial liquidity and tangible assets without infringing upon the personal criminal rights of those affected.
