DRUG SEIZURE--Cuzco. 18 April (LA PRENSA)--The value of the drugs seized '
by the police from a ring uncovered in Calca is estimated at over -
30 million soles, according to well informed sources. The arrest of the
ring leaders has led to the discovery that the group had ties with drug
organizations in Lima and abroad. The members of the ring that was smashed
in Calca has been making statements to police which will be used in their
arraignment before the trial judge. It has been determined that the group
r.ook advantage of the f act that Calca was the only town throu~h which

COURT RENDERS VERDICTS, SENTENCES DRUG TRAFFICKERS
fiabat L'OPINION in French 14 Apr 79 pp 1,10 -
[Text] The Specia.l JusCice Courti rendered its verdict in rhe trials of
narc~Cic traffickers at 0400'hours on Friday, after'80'days of arguments.
Seven~y-eighC persons, of whom 27 are in custody, 12 are out on bail, and 39
are tugitives were implicated in traffic in "ch~.ira" (a hashish derivaCive)
in the A1 Hoceima region. `
The accused had Co respond to several counts of indictmenC, including unlaw-
ful drug traffic, bribery, and extortion.
The 5pecial Justice Court thus pronounced 57 verdicts of ~uilty, 25 of Chem
in absentia, and acquitted 19.
The penalties range from 1 month Co 10 years in prison, accompanied by fines
varying from 1,000 to 10,000 dirhams (DH). -
Two cases were dissociated: those of Peter Severt and Oufkir Mohamed.
Ttie Special Justice Court, with Ahmed Zegdari presiding, had commenced these
trials last 22 January.
About September or October 1977, a prosecuting magistrate of firsC instance
at A1 Hoceima affirmed thut unlawful traffic, which could perhaps threaten
the security of the state, was spreading in the A1 Hoceima region. A com-
mission of inquiry was formed and with the collaboration of the criminal
police and Interpol exposed an international ring trafficking in "chiira."
As a matter of fact the traffickers had very extensive facilities at their
disposal for directing the "mercl~andise" not only into the interior of the
country but also to Europe and the North American continent. They used
trucks and various vehicles, "Zodiac" type out-boards, and three ships as
well as an airplane.

COP~NHAG~N 'FREE CITY': A M~CCA ~OR NORDIC DRUG USE1tS
Og1n AFtB~IU~ItBLADET in Norwegian 29 Mar ~9 p 13
(~exC] The hippie-culCure, which started on USA's West Coast during the
6d's~ ig definitely dead in Copenhagen's drug world. Narcotics abuse hae
returned in its stark~sC form, stripped of any idyllic aura, a harsh environ- -
mcnt where addicted young peopl~ from all of Che Nordic countries gr~tdually
succumb unless they get help.
It is estimated that roughly 5,000 drug addicta live in Che "King's Merry
Town," and many of them take refuge in the city of Christiania--which now
has become more and more of a slum--and for the most part a ghetto of so~ial
problems.
This is the kind of gloomy work environment for two Norwegian social welfare
counselors, Anna Lise Middelthon and Una Due-Tonnessen~ who are attached to
the Norwegian consulate.
Together with two Swedish and one Finnish counselore, they occupy an offtce
in a Danish center for social work at Halmtorg 3 at the main railroad station
in Copenhagen.
They look for Norwegian young people in Christiania and Nyhavn and other
places who have run away from problems at home. They try to motivate them
to return home again in order to get out of the destructive environment.
Drug addicts are sent to treatment centers in their home countries when they
themselves want to and room is available, and the employment office aesisCs
the unemployed to find ~obs in their home towns.
This offic~ has existed for nine years, and bare statistics presented by the
Norwegian counselors and the ~iirector of Health, Torb~orn Morl~, at a recent
meeting, clearly show the need for their work.
The number of patients gradually increased to 653 in 1974, and af ter a
significant drop during the next two years the number of patients last year
reached the same high level as in 1974. During 1978 a total of 388 patients

These p~tient~ already ar~ plagued by a lot of problems before they come
here, and only a few of th~m are marphine or heroin ~ddict~~" ehe sayg.
Warning to Dregmerg -
Most of the problem-plagued Norwegians who come to Copenhggen are between 17
~nd 22 yearg old, and some ar~ even younger. They come from all of the
nation'g counties, but most of them--one third--come from the Oslo area.
Other plgces thaC predominate are Berg~n, Ak~rehue, Ogtfold, Veatfold and
Rogaland.
Common to all of them is that they have left a difficult situation at home
and they leave hoping to find work and new good friends.
5ocial Welfare Counselor, MiddelChon. pointg out that everything--both work
and a place to live--now is harder to find in Denmark than in Norway.
The two counselors have good contacts with treatment centers in Norway~ but
they would like to see improved expansion of this type of assistance. They
feel that more housing and collectives, or foster homes, should be estab-
lished that could provide a posaibility �or ~ob training.
The office in Copenhagen is also an intermediary between these young people
and their worried families home in Norway. This service often helps the
young peoplc to return to their homes.

~USTOMS AG~NTS TO IN~Et~AS~ SUttV~ILLANC~ OF TRUCK TttAILEttS
O~lo AItB~ID~RBLAD~T in Norwegi~n 6 Apr 79 p 2
(T~xt~ "We don't have any concrete proof~ but it is not new Co ue that
narcot~cg are smuggled into Norway by truck-tra3lers. It is obv3ous that
exceptionally large amounts of hashiah ~nd other drugs cari get in with
regular trav~lers, and we are now in the proce~e of increasing our control
of rrailerg," saye Consultant Vidar Veetreng from the main Cuetome Office
to the Norwegian Wire Service (NTB).
A driver of a tra~ler tells VERDENS GANG that he r ecently was off ered 20
per~:ent commiesion in Cothenburg if he smuggled narcotica to Norway. He
claims that many of his colleagues, especially banish, Weat-and East-German
drivere, are tempted by such eaeily earned money.
Chief Consultant Vestreng also states that the Bureau of Customs would like
- to establieh its own inspection groups with narcotics doga who could etem
the flow of this amuggling.
"I'm thinking about the border croseings et Svinesund and Or~e, the ferry
locations and, in addition, northern Norway," says Vestreng. He makes it
very clear that this inspection role has Co be based on spot checks, as
there were as many as 184,000 truck-trailers ~ust last year alone from
abroad. Besides, the Customs Office does not have proof thaC drivers of
trailers are being paid for smuggling narcotics, but they do have examplea
where narcotics were smuggled in truck-trailers without the driver's
knowledge.
Chief Consultant Vestreng, points to u recent case in Arendel where half a
kilo of hash was found in the diesel tank of a Norwegian truck-trailer which
had just come on the Kristiansand ferry from Weat Germany.
"The narcotics were seized as the smugglers attempted to break the diesel
tank to peices, but they did not find the narcotics. The police did find
it, however, when the truck was brought to the repair ahop, and the driver
was innocent," Vestreng points out.

One of the quegtinng which borh the pollre and thc Customg Office ar~ worried
about, is the gmuggling of l~sser ~neunte ~f narcotica hidden in th~ vaging
or in th~ r~ctum. Some gmuggler~ even gwalloW narcoticg hidden in condome

Branch Chief Mgthisen, sayg rhat up to fivp or gix grams of heroin have been
smuggl~d in Chig fashion. "The value of hard drugs is high, and it is there-
fore not imposgible to smuggle narcotice valued ag high as 100,000 Kroner in
this manner," he says.
5ten Grindhaug, chief of the Criminal Police, tells IVTB that one week ago
the police station in Oslo sent a proposal to the Justice Department for
immediat~ changes in the law so that they will be permitted to make medical
examinations of travelers suspected for thig type of smuggling.
Usually it is the ~mall importers of narcotics who smuggle drug~s in thia
manner--drug addices Who finance their own addiction by selling th~ drug~.
This kind of smuggling has been very difficult Co discover.

"Karl Johan Avenue continues to be the main area for users and emall sales
here in the city, and we are constantly getting complaints over the
gituation around the Eger Square. Personally, I feel that the Eger Square
situntion is mogtly a police problem. If ~e in the Narcotics Branch want
to get to the root of our problem we have to concentrate on other matters.
Although, of course, we ke~p track of what happens on Bger Square," eays
Mathisen.
Judging from the seizures made by the police up til now, they indicate Chat
many of the victiais have gone to harder drugs. The increase in cannabis
confiscation during the first three months of thie year was 29 percent. But
the heroin seized this year is more than 32 times the amount seized during
the first three months last year.
"We are not sure what the going market price is, but the prices quoted to us
are between 30 to 50 Kroner for a gram of hashish, and 8 to 10,000 Kroner
- for a gram of heroin. In other words, it is not unusual that there ia an
obvioue connection between many of our cases and those of the branch dealing
with stolen goods," says Ole Mathisen.

I~20~IV S~TZjktE--Two Turks and four British citizens, three of them women,
were apprehended whi].e attempting to smuggle heroin in~o Grea~ Britain. The
heroin w~zs hidden in secret compaxtments of
a Mercedes Benz au~omobile brought
into the country by ferry. According to j.nformation supplied by the police,
~Za~ Yuksel., 40 years of age and a resident of Urfa~ o.nd Ahmet Veli Zeybek,
3~ yeurs of age and a Cypr3ot citizen, were ~r.e 2 Turks involved in the in-
cident. The six-person smuggling ring was uncovered by customs officials
when they detained the auto as it was unloaded a~ Flarwich. Customs officia7.s
dismantled the auto and in the proceas confiecated 11 kilos of herol.n, valued -
at 2 mi]lion sterling, hidden in secret, cuatom-made compartments. Accord-
in~ ~o what has been learned, there is some connection between this emuggl:tng
incident and the one which took place at London's Heathrow Airport on
- 11 March of this year. Both efforts are thought to be the work of the s~ne
network, a branch of which extends as far a~ Turkey. When no one claimed
the luggage unloaded from a Turkish A3rlines f`i~.ght that originated in
Istanbul on 11 March, the police searched the cont~nts of this luggage
and based upon the clues they obtained from the perscna.l belongings ~'ound
in the luggage, they were able to intercept the Mercedes as it was un- .
loaded in Ha.rwich. ~Excerpt~ ~stanbul MTLLIYET in Turkish 6 May 79
