Bashar al-Assad's family has invested millions in real estate in Moscow

According to The Times, Moscow gave asylum to the former president of Syria. The possibility of him moving to one of the districts of the Russian capital is being considered.

It is reported that the family of the ousted president owns more than 20 apartments in the prestigious business district of Moscow City.

According to The Times, the total value of these properties is estimated at 40 million dollars.

13 properties are owned by Bashar al-Assad's cousin Hafez Makhlouf or companies he controls. Another cousin's wife, Rami Makhlouf, bought two more apartments.

Four of these buildings are used as residences, including apartments owned by Assad's cousins, twin brothers Ihab and Iyad Makhlouf. Another apartment not far from Moscow was bought by a relative of the family.
