Assad’s Inner Circle Faces Legal Threat

A top Syrian judicial official has revealed that the country’s legal authorities are working with Interpol to pursue members of President Bashar al-Assad’s family, including his powerful brother Maher Assad. In an interview with Saudi broadcaster Al Arabiya, the head of Syria’s judicial committee stated that the government is actively engaged in legal efforts to bring the Assad family to justice. While he did not specify charges, the statement marks one of the strongest public indications that legal pressure on the Assad regime could extend to international channels.
