The Assad family's secret escape tunnels have been revealed after Syrian rebels discovered the huge luxury underground network amid their raids.
A video claiming to show Major General Maher al-Assad's 'mansion' shows a white staircase cut into the floor, spiralling underground.
From there, it is another two staircases descending even further into the white-and-grey depths.
The footage, said to have been snapped by a rebel, then cuts to show a vast network of empty, wide tunnels with tall, curved ceilings.
Maher al-Assad - who is the deposed President's brother and is known for his ruthlessness - holds a rank equivalent to major general and leads the elite Fourth Division of the Syrian army.
The video was captioned: 'Massive tunnel complex beneath Maher Assad's mansion, wide enough for trucks carrying Captagon and gold to drive through.'
Another claimed the tunnels were 'ready with ventilation, sitting rooms, bedrooms, locks and metal doors'.
Syrian rebels seized the capital Damascus unopposed on Sunday, sending President Bashar al-Assad fleeing after a 13-year civil war and six decades of his family's autocratic rule.
The deposed leader and his family fled the country and have been given asylum in Moscow, Russian state media confirmed. His brother's whereabouts, however, are unknown.
