Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's uncle Rifaat al-Assad has returned to the country after 37 years in exile, a local newspaper reported.
Saying Rifaat arrived in Syria on Thursday and would serve no political or social position, the al-Watan report said that the his returncame against the backdrop of a verdict by a French court that sentenced him to four years in prison for financial crimes.
Rifaat's assets, worth $106 million, and his assets in Spain valued at about $804 have all been confiscated over the past few years - IANS
