Ayman Jaber is a Syrian businessman and resident of Latakia. In addition to properties he owns, Jaber manages investments in contracting. He is a member of the Arab Union for Iron and Steel, a transnational body working on the development of steel in the Arab world. His name was listed among those under EU sanctions, freezing his balances and restricting his travel. Sources in 2017 reported that Jaber received permission to import foreign tobacco into Syria. Along with his brother, Muhammad Jaber, he owns industrial vessels that produce cigarettes and sell them on the black market and in Syria. In other words, Ayman Jaber is both an importer and a producer. Part of Jaber’s wealth is used to pay the salaries of militiamen in Syria of Suqur al-Sahraa (Desert Hawks) Brigade. In 2018, Jaber’s movable and immovable assets were reportedly held, but he was not arrested and remains under house arrest. US sanctions were imposed on Ayman Jaber on 11 December 2012, and EU sanctions on 27 January 2015.
