In an unusual phenomenon that has emerged recently, unknown persons in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor imposed royalties on merchants and car owners , mainly in the areas of Al-Izba, Jadeed Akidat and Jadid Bakara.
The people did not disclose their identities or affiliations, and they were not identified if they were “militants” carrying out thefts at gunpoint, or from Daesh cells or the Assad militia, as they use Syrian numbers.
Usually, the so-called Daesh royal cost office determines amounts under several names, including zakat and taxes, and it usually targets oil well investors and capitals.
