The channel did not specify the nature of the information it described as not based on facts, but during the episode Tlass spoke about the corruption of Muhammad Makhlouf, brother of Hafez al-Assad’s wife. The episode was titled “Syria … The Fall of the Patriarch”, in reference to the novel by Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, who mocks authoritarianism and corruption in the ruling classes.
During the interview, Tlass discussed the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the Assad family, the role of al-Assad’s uncle in managing projects and funds, specifically after the October 1973 war, and the flow of funds from the Gulf. to the Syrian treasury under the motto of supporting firmness. During the interview, Tlass accused Mohamed Makhlouf, with the help of experts from Lebanon and Britain, of establishing a financial empire based on the sale of oil, according to Syrian media that cited an opposition that supervised the interview.

After what was said and spread, spread. The proper procedure is to expel the peace of an RT traveler because his existence gives the impression that he is hostile to the Syrian people, the army and the lion, but rather resembles Al-Jazeera and the Hebrew (Arabic).
Removing the spy ring (Salam Traveler and Firas Tlass) from the R T station page is an inappropriate procedure, which is kind of a laugh at the beards, after what was said was said and what was spread.
And the proper procedure is to expel (Peace Traveler) from the R T, because its existence gives the impression that it is hostile to Syria, as a people, army and lion, but quite similar to Al Jazeera and the Hebrew. pic.twitter.com/HMtIw68cMD– Dr. Bahjat suleiman (@ drbahjat49) May 9, 2020
