After Hafez al-Assad
Mustafa Tlass and his son, Firas, both left Syria after the revolt against Assad began in 2011. Mustafa Tlass left for France for what he described as medical treatment. Firas, a business tycoon, left Syria for Egypt in 2011, too. It is also reported that he is in Dubai. Opposition accounts state that Tlass left Syria partly in response to the regime's sudden and violent crackdown in his hometown of Rastan.
