Thieves, crooks, and embezzlers of the Syrian regime

Syrian dissident intellectual Michel Kilu (and I am not a fan of his, I should state), responds rightly indignantly against the decision by the thieves of the Syrian regime to confiscate his possessions and bank accounts.  I don't agree always with Kilu but he is not a corrupt man from what I hear.  He still takes the Metro in Paris.  The thieves of the Syrian regime assumed that all Syrian dissidents are thieves, crooks, and embezzlers like him.  But then again: the Asad family rule is a mafia family rule.   No less.
