Syria’s new rulers are investigating the corporate empires of allies of ousted President Bashar al-Assad in an anti-corruption campaign. Authorities have launched asset freezes and interrogations of key business figures, including Samer Foz and Mohammad Hamsho, both sanctioned by the U.S. The government aims to root out illegal activities while balancing economic stability. Additionally, Syria’s leadership is shifting towards a free-market economy and negotiating with Kurdish forces for national integration. Security operations are also underway to detain former Assad loyalists resisting the new administration
