Siwar al assad family home

We've seen lots of the Assads' palace, but in an upscale neighbourhood of Damascus we found their family home, where they actually lived.

What we discovered inside was staggering. This was clearly where the dictator's British-born wife Asma loved to be, her inner sanctum where she stored her treasures.

The looters had got there first, the place was ransacked, but in Asma's personal storage room and boudoir, the floor was covered with countless boxes for jewellery, antiques and designer goods.

But what we saw revealed the life of luxury she and her family led while her husband was orchestrating the murder of hundreds of thousands of his people, who were living in abject poverty.

On the lower floor, envelopes of damning documents. Among them bank records in Asma's maiden name, for staggering sums of Asma al-assad!
