Résumé Captagon is a highly addictive drug that has ravaged the Middle East in recent years. Now investigative journalism network OCCRP, alongside BBC News Arabic, has uncovered new direct links between this multi-billion dollar drug trade and leading members of the Syrian Armed Forces and President Bashar al-Assad's family.
