Bashar Al Assad's in-laws, Fawaz and Sahar Akhras, have left their £1 million home in West London for Moscow. Neighbors reported they departed about ten days ago, likely to join their daughter, Asma, and her family. The Kremlin confirmed that the Assad family has been granted asylum in Russia, following their departure from Syria amid ongoing conflict. This marks a significant shift for the family, who previously lived in luxury while facing international scrutiny. Asma Al Assad, born in the UK, has been criticized for her role in her husband's regime. The family is now expected to rely on their connections and wealth in Moscow, where they have purchased multiple properties.
