- Stated grounds
- Raji Falhout leads an al-Assad-regime-affiliated militia that is associated with the Syrian Military Intelligence. Raji Falhout is also involved in drug trafficking linked to Captagon. The Captagon trade has become a business model led by the former al-Assad regime, enriching the inner circle of the former al-Assad regime and forming its lifeline. He therefore benefits from and supports the former al-Assad regime.
