Syrian authorities announced a settlement with prominent businessman Mohammad Hamsho, who faced accusations of profiting from the war and ties to the former Assad regime. The committee for combating illicit enrichment stated a formal settlement was reached after investigations into his assets. Hamsho confirmed a comprehensive agreement with the new government, thanking President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The US and EU had previously sanctioned Hamsho for alleged links to Assad's associates and illicit trade. Reports suggest Qatari mediation played a role in the settlement.
