Why Rami Makhlouf’s great media story?

Two videos of Syrian businessman and billionaire Rami Makhlouf posted on media sites to inflame all channels, especially those that are hostile to Syria, saying the man disagrees with President Assad and that the matter is far from overdue. taxes.

Everyone knows that Rami Makhlouf, a relative of President Al-Assad, is an empire of companies working in various fields, the most important of which is communication. We all know today that the Syrian state, with the size of the huge economic sanctions that the United States and the West are practicing, urgently needs tax money and is therefore natural. The state should demand taxes owed to these companies, and this is what all countries do.

It is also clear that Rami Makhlouf in the first video that aired yesterday was trying to say that the state should be a little patient and not seize your money because it has charities and will stop if your money is seized, and therefore the problem. it’s really financial, and the two sides have Makhlouf and the state AND it seems that the state cannot legally be impatient anymore, especially when Makhlouf complained during the video of the “method” of state personnel dealing with the issue.

When the Ministry of Communications responded to Makhlouf’s video and explained that the two companies “Syriatel” (most of their shares are Rami Makhlouf and 20 percent for the state) and MTN Communications, they had amounts owed to the state (around ۳۳۴ million dollars) and that the ministry informed them that the two companies must inform them that they must be informed with a mechanism to pay them. Due to a maximum period of 5/5/2020, a second video arrived in Makhlouf today showing a more intense tone but, with careful consideration, it carried the same message in the first video, which is giving these funds to people and charitable causes. Thus, the financial problem appears again.

In light of the fact that the crisis between Makhlouf and the state is “financial” and is between a state and one of the largest companies operating in the country “Syriatel”, what happens is natural, and can happen anywhere country that may suffer the circumstances of the war and the United States and unjust sanctions, but the media Rent, especially the Gulf, strives, as usual, to “fish in troubled waters” and say that the issue is political and tries to “personalize” what is happening and present it as if it were a dispute between President Bashar al-Assad and his cousin Rami Makhlouf, and completely ignores the story that the Syrian state may try to pursue a new way of imposing financial discipline and stop corruption. It is natural for such companies to pay the Tax Keeper consequences because a large portion of imports from Treasury countries are currently these taxes in light of declining exports and Western sanctions.
