On 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing what it called Syria Files, a collection of more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and companies such as Finmeccanica, dating from August 2006 to March 2012.
Release
The release of the files started on 5 July 2012. The database comprises 2,434,899 emails from the 680 domains. At least 400,000 files are in Arabic and 68,000 files in Russian.
Cases
According to emails published by WikiLeaks on 5 July 2012, the Italian conglomerate Finmeccanica increased its sale of mobile communications equipment to Syrian authorities during 2011, delivering some of these to the Damascus suburb Muadami in June 2011, during the Syrian uprising, and sending engineers to Damascus in February 2012 to provide training in using the communications equipment in helicopter terminals.
Commentary and reactions
WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange said of the files that "it helps us not merely to criticise one group or another, but to understand their interests, actions and thoughts. It is only through understanding this conflict that we can hope to resolve it."
