Official reason

Hassan Muhammad Daqqou has close ties with the Fourth Division of the Syrian Army during the former al-Assad regime. Daqqou has established a wide drug trafficking network in Lebanon and Syria and built Captagon manufacturing plants close to the Syrian-Lebanese border. The Captagon trade has become a business model led by the former al-Assad regime, enriching the inner circle of the former al-Assad regime and forming its lifeline. He therefore benefits from and supports the former al-Assad regime.
