Belgian Financial Sanctions,

Firas al-Akhras is the brother of Asma al-Assad. He is co-owner of the Takamol LLC company responsible for managing the electronic “smart card program” used since 2014 to distribute subsidised food and other products in Syria, under the umbrella of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Protection. In particular, Takamol LLC earns a fee for every transaction operated through the smart card. Firas al-Akhras is therefore benefitting from and supporting the Syrian regime.

Firas al-Akhras est le frère d’Asma al-Assad. Il est copropriétaire de la société Takamol LLC, responsable de la gestion du programme de “cartes intelligentes” électroniques utilisé depuis 2014 pour distribuer des denrées alimentaires et d’autres produits subventionnés en Syrie, sous l’égide du ministère du commerce intérieur et de la protection des consommateurs. Takamol LLC perçoit notamment une commission pour chaque opération réalisée avec la carte intelligente. Firas al-Akhras tire donc avantage du régime syrien et le soutient.
