Relatives of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad are accused in Spain of laundering "more than 600 million euros," DW reported.

On November 22, the Spanish National Court ruled that a criminal case be filed against Bashar's uncle.

Another 13 people are accused, including the 8 children and 2 wives of 82-year-old Rifaat al-Assad.

It is assumed that since the 1980s, they have been operating in Spain as an organized "criminal gang."

The gang also operated in other countries using fake companies, including in the UK.

The Spanish prosecutor's office is due to start a trial on this case within 10 days.
