Rifaat al-Assad, known as the “Butcher of Hama” and the uncle of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has gone on trial for alleged money laundering. A politically exposed person(PEP), like Rifaat al-Assad, is normally considered to be an increased risk for financial crimes due to their status. Sherpa, a law association focused on defending victims of economic crime, started the investigation in 2014 with a complaint<\/a>. This case serves to highlight how important anti-money laundering screening is for PEPs.<\/p>\n

Rifaat al-Assad is accused of embezzling Syrian state funds to buy homes and offices worth about $100 million in France. The 2014 complaint was filed because Sherpa stated that the value of his property empire far exceeded his known income. He has denied any wrongdoing.
