The now-deposed regime of Bashar al-Assad has turned Syria into a narco-state, generating an annual income of $2.4 billion through drug production and smuggling, particularly captagon.
Rebel fighter Baker Sham expressed shock at the scale of the narcotics operation, detailing how drugs were hidden inside everyday objects and the vast quantities found in a clandestine laboratory.
Syria accounted for 80% of the world's captagon production, reflecting an extensive drug industry intertwined with the regime's corruption and mismanagement.
Ahmed al-Sharaa, leading a rebel group, highlighted the moral degradation of Assad's regime, emphasizing that the discovery of drugs symbolizes its corrupt and decadent nature.
