Daraa, June 13(SANA) Syrian security forces, in coordination with the Counter-Terrorism Directorate, have arrested Raafat Anwar Al-Amoudi, a wanted suspect accused of working for the deposed regime’s Popular Committees militia in Daraa Province.
The Ministry of Interior said Saturday preliminary investigations indicate that al-Amoudi was involved in the arrest and enforced disappearance of a number of Daraa residents through direct coordination with deposed security agencies.
Investigators also found that Amoudi worked for former Military Security Branch chief Brigadier General Wafiq Nasser and operated under the supervision of assistant officer Osama Abu Jaafar.
According to the ministry, evidence revealed close cooperation between al-Amoudi and the Air Force Intelligence branch led by Colonel Qusai Mihoub. Authorities said he allegedly handed over individuals to security services and later blackmailed their families, demanding large sums of money in exchange for false promises of securing their release.
Authorities continue to investigate the case to uncover all related circumstances before referring the suspect to the judiciary for legal proceedings.
