Waseem Assad's Rise from Al-Qardaha to Prominence
Wassem al-Asad, the son of al-Quiratah and a close associate of the Assad family, transformed from a businessman owning companies in the transportation and trade sectors into a figure with military and financial influence. He became involved in drug trafficking and the formation of armed groups loyal to the Syrian regime. Following the 2011 uprising, he engaged in supporting militias and exerting security influence, flaunting his wealth provocatively despite the economic crisis. In 2025, he was arrested in a security operation and charged with financing armed groups and drug smuggling. He is currently the first member of the Assad family to stand trial as part of the accountability process following the fall of the regime.
