U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Syrian Mogul for Aiding Assad
2019-06-12
[AnNahar] The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on Samer Foz, a Syrian industrialist behind high-end developments, including the Four Seasons hotel in Damascus, for allegedly enriching Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor. If he'd stuck with it he'd have had a good practice by now...
"This Syrian oligarch is directly supporting the murderous Assad regime and building luxury developments on land stolen from those fleeing his brutality," Sigal Mandelker, the undersecretary of the treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in an announcement.

#1  "Foz, 44, is a lawyer and grain merchant. He was born in the coastal city of Latakia and is married with four children. Since the start of the war, he has built an empire of companies that have expanded around the world. His purchase of the share of the Four Seasons from famous Saudi prince [Walid al-Talal], means that he has a controlling share equal to the Syrian Tourism Ministry, whose minister, Bishr Yaziji, is under European Union sanctions."
