Syria's New Authorities Burn One Million Captagon Pills, Targeting Assad's $5.6 Billion Drug Trade
Dec 25, 2024, 12:07 PM
Syria's new authorities have destroyed approximately one million Captagon pills found in security branches in the Kafr Sousa district of Damascus. The amphetamine-like stimulant was produced on an industrial scale under ousted President Bashar al-Assad and was a significant source of revenue for his regime, with the Captagon trade valued at $5.6 billion annually. The destruction marks a move by the new administration to dismantle the narcotics network that flourished under Assad. Officials confirmed that the drugs were seized and burned to prevent them from entering the market.
