EU targets Syrian middleman it says bought oil from ISIS
The European Union has imposed sanctions on a Syrian businessman who it says has bought oil for Syria from ISIS that the government in Damascus has declared to be its enemy.
Adding to its list of sanctions on supporters of Syrian President Bashar Assad, the EU said that George Haswani worked as an intermediary to agree oil contracts between Syria and ISIS, which rules a self-declared caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria.
