Brazilian Bashar Assad relatives face diplomatic hurdles
Reports indicate that Syrian authorities suspect the presence of two cousins of ousted President Bashar al-Assad in Brazil, one being Wisam Assad and the son of Rifat Assad. They are investigating their connections to smuggling operations and their links to the former regime. However, pursuing them faces an obstacle due to the continued presence of former staff members from the Syrian diplomatic mission in Brazil in their positions, which hampers information exchange between Damascus and its embassy. This has sparked criticism from Syrian activists calling for the reorganization of the embassy and the prosecution of those linked to the previous regime, while Brazil asserts that the presence of these individuals is not within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
