Syria, under the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad, transformed into a narco-state primarily through the production and trade of Captagon, an amphetamine that has become a vital revenue source for the regime. Despite losing power, the intricate network established by the Assad regime, including connections to Hezbollah and drug cartels, continues to thrive, extending its influence into Europe, particularly Germany. Experts suggest that the fall of Assad may not signal the end of Captagon trafficking, as former regime affiliates might migrate to Europe, maintaining the drug trade’s resilience.
