Confirmed Designated Person Syria

Rania al-Dabbas

Also: رانيا الدباس · Rania Hamsho

Wife of Mohammed Hamcho and mother of his four children (Ahmad, Amr, Ali and Sumaya). Designated with the four children under the US Caesar Act on 17 June 2020. Her maiden name places her in the Al-Dabbas family — the same surname carried by DAK's owners Fadi, Ghiyath and Abeer Al-Dabbas, and by Fadi al-Dabbas, reported co-founder of the Hamsho-protection security firm Hisn al-Sham. Whether she is a direct relative of DAK's Al-Dabbas owners is not established here, but the marriage is the first documented family bridge between the Hamsho line and the Al-Dabbas names that recur through the Sama Alsham food cluster.زوجة محمد حمشو ووالدة أبنائه الأربعة (أحمد وعمرو وعلي وسمية). جرى تصنيفها مع الأبناء الأربعة بموجب قانون قيصر الأمريكي في 17 حزيران 2020. يضعها اسم عائلتها ضمن آل الدباس — اللقب ذاته الذي يحمله ملّاك شركة دار الخير (داك) فادي وغياث وعبير الدباس، وفادي الدباس المذكور بوصفه أحد مؤسّسي شركة حصن الشام الأمنية التي تولّت حماية حمشو. لم يُثبت هنا ما إذا كانت قريبة مباشرة لملّاك داك من آل الدباس، لكن هذا الزواج هو أول جسر عائلي موثق بين خط عائلة حمشو وأسماء آل الدباس المتكررة في عنقود سما الشام الغذائي والأمني.

Record

Confidence: Stated by a primary source — the party's own filing, site, or an official designation.

Reporting also names a brother-in-law of Mohammed Hamsho, Ruslan al-Khayyat, as an alleged accomplice in sanctions evasion — not the same surname as Rania's, so the exact family link is unresolved and carried only as a lead.تذكر تقارير أيضاً صهراً لمحمد حمشو، رسلان الخياط، بوصفه متواطئاً مزعوماً في التهرب من العقوبات — وهو لقب مختلف عن لقب رانيا، فتبقى العلاقة العائلية الدقيقة غير محسومة وتُدرج بوصفها خيطاً للمتابعة فقط.
