- Stated grounds
- Abdellatif Hamid has close ties to the Assad family. Abdellatif Hamid owns a factory in Aleppo that has been implicated in Captagon production and trafficking. 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.
