Samer Foz (a.k.a Samer al-Fouz; Samer Fawz; Samer Fouz) is a Syrian businessman. He is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al-Foz Holding Group, and CEO of Aman Holding Group and its subsidiary companies. According to the Financial Times, Foz concluded a deal with Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal in which the latter’s sold his shares of the Four Seasons Hotel in central Damascus. Observers believe that Samer Foz, rather than Muhammad Hamsho and Rami Makhlouf, is the investment front of Bashar al-Assad and his family. Foz has been known as an investor who buys the properties of businessmen who left Syria several years ago. He has recently bought all of Imad Ghreiwati’s Syria-based companies; the Hmisho Steel Company in the industrial city of Hasya; as well as a large number of companies and factories belonging to businessmen who left the country. In 2013, Samer Foz was arrested in Turkey for the murder of Egyptian-Ukrainian businessman Ramzi Matta, after Foz confessed to killing Matta because he had been defrauded of $15 million. Foz was released from prison only six months later, after paying a bail of three million Turkish liras in what was described as a “dubious deal,” and then returned to his hometown of Latakia. Sources report that Foz supported the so-called Military Security Shield Forces, a paramilitary group affiliated with the Military Intelligence inside Latakia. Newspapers quoted two Syrian opposition leaders as saying that Foz uses Dubai as a commercial center that allows him to develop relations with Iran. However, observers in the Syrian capital say Foz is getting closer to Russian businessmen as Moscow steps up its efforts to invest in Syria, and that he also owns companies in Lebanon and Russia. Samer Foz is married and has four children. US sanctions were imposed on Samer Foz on 11 June 2019, and EU sanctions on 21 January 2019.
