Bekaa detention of Suleiman Hilal Assad
Media outlets reported that Lebanese security forces arrested Suleiman Hisham al-Assad, a relative of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, during a raid on a drug warehouse in the Bekaa region of eastern Lebanon. The Syrian authorities have requested his extradition on suspicion of involvement in murders and drug trafficking. A descendant of a family close to the Syrian regime, al-Assad had previously been convicted of murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison before being released in 2020. These events come amid increasing efforts to combat drug smuggling and criminal activities linked to the Syrian regime.
