The documents were found in the home of the ISIL leader known as Abu Sayyaf, the person in the organization who was responsible for trading in stolen oil. Abu Sayyaf was killed by American special forces in May 2015.

Also on 28 July 2015, the Syria Now website published an article by the French author Thierry Meyssan stating that crude oil exports, which had recently resumed, were now being managed not by the haulage company of the Azerbaijani billionaire Mübariz Gurbanoglu, but rather by the company BMZ Group, which is owned by Bilal Erdogan, the son of the Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan.

I should be grateful if you would have the present letter issued as a document of the Security Council.
