Turkey learned that the former president of Syria allegedly encountered a series of problems in Russia.
But Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov denied all the speculation spread by Turkish media.
Earlier it was stated that Bashar al-Assad was allegedly banned from leaving Moscow and engaging in politics.
In addition, discord arose in the family of the former Syrian leader.
Assad's 49-year-old wife has allegedly filed for divorce and is planning to leave Russia. She was born in Britain and has British citizenship, so she plans to go to London.
In addition, Turkish media claim that all of the Assad couple’s assets are allegedly frozen in the Russian Federation.
Journalists decided to turn to the official representative of the Kremlin for a comment.
Dmitry Peskov stated that the information being disseminated about the family of the former president of Syria is fake, TASS reports.
Bashar al-Assad and his close associates left Syria on December 8, when the opposition broke the army's resistance and took the capital.
The evacuation of the presidential family was carried out with the participation of Russian military and special services.
There were rumors that Assad allegedly took hundreds of millions of dollars and euros out of Syria, which are now in Moscow.
This information was disseminated by Western media.
