Imad Abu Zureiq is a leading member of a former al-Assad-regime-affiliated militia in Southwest Syria that reports directly to the Syrian regime’s Military Security branch. Currently his militia profits from the war economy, including the trafficking in Captagon. The Captagon trade has become a business model led by the former al-Assad regime, enriching the inner circle of the former al-Assad regime and forming its lifeline. He therefore benefits from and supports the former al-Assad regime.
