Spanish police stage raids targeting Assad family’s assets

Police in southern Spain stage raids targeting assets of the family of Syrian leader Bashar Assad, a judicial source says.

The raids, in the Puerto Banus marina area of the plush resort of Marbella, are the result of a corruption investigation launched in France against Assad’s uncle, Rifaat Assad, the source said.
