Dr. Mufleh al-Zubi, son of former Syrian Prime Minister Mahmoud al-Zubi, revealed shocking details about crimes committed by Bashar al-Assad before becoming president, exposing information about his involvement in deteriorating his father's health and eliminating his opponents.

Al-Zubi explained that Bashar al-Assad deliberately manipulated medication times and methods for his father Hafez al-Assad, accelerating the decline of his mental and physical condition, describing a phone call revealing the former president's severe mental deterioration.

He disclosed that Bashar exploited his father's declining health to interfere in appointments and oil deals, leading to conflict with Prime Minister Mahmoud al-Zubi, who resisted Assad's attempts to control state institutions.

The former prime minister's son highlighted an incident where a senior officer disguised himself to warn his father about Bashar al-Assad's plot to eliminate him, confirming that his father refused to leave Syria despite knowing the imminent dangers.

Analysts noted the timing between the former prime minister's murder in May 2000 and Hafez al-Assad's death a month later in June raises numerous questions about Bashar al-Assad's role in both incidents.

Observers confirm these new revelations add to Bashar al-Assad's criminal record, who fled to Russia on December 8, 2024, ending a 24-year rule that was an extension of his family's six-decade governance.
