Looters Discover Luxury Car Fleet While Raiding Bashar al-Assad’s Palace (X @Osint613)
When Islamist rebel forces invaded Bashar al-Assad’s palace in Damascus, they discovered a fleet of luxury cars, including Mercedes, Porsches, Audis, and Ferraris.
Videos show looters exploring the palace’s vast garage, taking furniture, artwork, and even the dictator’s personal items, while taking selfies and shooting guns into the air.
The palace, an imposing stone and marble fortress on the outskirts of Damascus, was left empty after Assad fled to an unknown destination, ending 24 years of brutal rule.
In addition to the luxury cars, the looters also found other valuable items, such as an arsenal of weapons and a network of underground bunkers. In the shared videos, men and women can be seen looting household items, while others carried away furniture and precious goods. One user pointed out that people were not interested in objects like chandeliers, but rather money and gold, which had apparently been withdrawn from the central bank.
The chaos was not limited to the palace, as other government buildings were also looted, with soldiers abandoning their posts and uniforms. The videos shared on social media captured the frenzy of the looters.
