British investigation examines Asma al-Assad’s role before her husband's fall from power in Syria
The British newspaper "The Observer" carried out an investigation into the role of Asma al-Assad, the wife of Syria's former President Bashar al-Assad, in managing the Syrian regime and the economic arena during his tenure. The investigation revealed that Asma, who grew up in London, was a central figure in decision-making and wielded control over key sectors of the Syrian economy, including international aid and economic institutions. She was found to have had a significant influence on policies and the regime as a whole. She was accused of using her influence to tighten the grip on businesspeople and opposition figures, and of steering policies to serve her interests, although not all allegations were conclusively proven. The report also pointed to her increasing influence within the ruling circle and her direct involvement in political and economic decisions, with ongoing international scrutiny aimed at bringing her to justice.
