Claims about Asma al-Assad seeking divorce and moving to London
The Kremlin denies claims that Asma al-Assad, wife of Bashar al-Assad, is filing for divorce and wants to move to London. They are said to be under effective house arrest in Moscow after fleeing Syria. Asma, a British-born former investment banker, has been accused of using her British upbringing and glamorous appearance to sanitize the Assad regime. She is reported to have cancer.
