CHARASy OPIUM SEIZED--Excise and LahoYe Range Crimes Police seized
5,430 grams of charas and 3,320 grams or opium worth Rs 3 lakh a:~d _
arrested four persons on Saturday. The raiding party arrested a noto-
rious narcotic pedlar Sajjad Haider alias Jhando Shah and his accoma

rarily residing at Ravi Road to look after the i].licit trade of charas
and opium being smuggled from the Frontier Province to the city. Six
hundred and sixty'grams of charas and 2,310 grams of opium were seized -

NBI BREAKS UP MARIHUANA SYNDICATE
Manila PHILIPPINES DAILY EXPRESS in English 9 Jul 80 pp 1, 2
[Text] Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation have busted a drug _
syndicate which they said was the biggest supplier of mari3uana in Luzon.
NBI Director Jolly Bugarin said the group, which owns at least four mari-
- juana plantations in the mount~inous areas in Northern Luzon, was the
biggest supplier of prohibited plants in Metro Manila a.nd military bases
_ in Central Luzon.
At lea st seven members of the ring, including its broker, were arrested
Monday by NBI agents during a raid in Benguet province. ~
_ The ra iding team, working for five months, seized 2,230 fully grown
marijuana plants anci 63 kilos of half-dried mari~uana with a street value _
of about P3.5 million.
Bugarin ideZtified those arrested as Rudy B. Lagman, 22, alleged broker,
of La Trinidad, Benguet; R~nnie B. Morfil, 75; Morris A. Pas~gnor, 35; Tonis
A. Senyo, 21; Benito L. Ec~~ng, 23; and Bello Hano, 22, all of Atok, -
Benguet, and Efren M. Ditona, alle~d-pusher of Olongapo City.
Onofre Manalad, NBI narcotics section chief, said the operation against
the group started last March following the axrest of Corazon Fernandez
in ~~ongapo City on charges of drug-pushing.
Fernandez led NBI agents who posed as buyers to Ditona, also one of the
- peddlers of the ring, Manaiad said. -
The NB I said the undercover agents were later introduced by Ditona to
Lagman in his house on Kilometer 19 in La Trinidad to place the order for
mari j uana .
According to Bugarin, the order was to be delivered last June but the
NBI agents failed to return on that date. Three days later, whe~;Z the NBI
agents contacted Lagman again to get their order, they were told the
stuff was sold to somebody. _

Eugarin said the undercover agents placed another order for pick-up on
July 2 at the house of Lagman.
Last Monday, the age~ts returned to Lagman to get additional supply of
the pl ants.
This t ime, Lagman led them to the four plantations--two in Calasipan ~nd
one each on Sanyangan and Paoay in Atok, Benguet--where they arrested the
rest of the syndicate members. -
The group was charged with violation of the Dangerous Drugs Act before _
_ the pr ovincial fiscal of La Trinidad. (PNA)

LONG DRUG WATCH FRUITLESS--Vancouver (CP~--More than 450 kilograms of
hashish with a street value of $5-million has been seized after being -
watched by police at Vancouver International Airport for nearly four
months, RCMP said yesterday. The G54 kilograms of hash arrived March 17

via T~kyo and Honolulu. The crates arrived on separate flights and
were watched ~v police who hoped someone would turn up to claim them,
Sgt. Bill Hacock said. The seizure came after Mounties were tipp~d off
by U.S. customs officials in Honolulu who became suspicious about medical
supplies being shipped to Vancouver from Pakistan rather than the other
way around. [Text] [Toronto THE GLOBE AND MAIL in English 11 Jul 80 p 8] _

In a visit to PRESENCIA, ~~~tor Salvatierra and David Torrico Arce said

in which applications are received But on tfie basis of d~scrtminatory

benefits many families." _
They reported tfiat the latest authorizations for tTie sale of coca were
issued to professional men, carriers jteamsters], military personnel, and
relatives of police officers "wlto use influence and big briBes" which in
. some cases come to as much as lOQ,O~Q Bolivtan pesos for one autfiox~.zat~on.
They asked the Comptroller General of tfie Republic and the Naticnal Congress

They proposed that, if a new registxation 3:s not possifale, tfie free sale

DRUG GROWING, TRAFFICKIN~ CLAIMED R~DUCED BY 90 PERCENT
Ciudad Juarez EL FRONTERIZO in Spanish 22 Jun 80 Sec E p 7 -
[Text] Chihuahua, Chih., 21 June--Yesterday, the secretary of national de- -
fense, Div Gen Felix Galvan Lopez, stated that, 3 years after the Mexican _
Army enacted the"Condor Plan" to counter the growing and trafficking of
drugs in the Durango, Sinaloa and Chihuahua area, it can be claimed that
this harmful activ~.ty has been reduced by 90 percent, and "we have also -
made drug growing ~ar.profitable."
During a pr.ess r_o~iference held upon his return from a tour of the military
installations in Delicias and the Santa Gertrudis horse breeding farm, ac-
companied by the commander of the Fifth Military Zone, Div Gen Juan Arevalo
- Gardoqui, General Galvan anriounced that he had just made a replacement of
the armed forces responsible for "Operation Condor" in the nerve center
of drug growing and trafficking, with relief troops from the military zones
of the three aforementioned states, as is done every 6 months.
The division general explained that, each year, the forces which have been
participating in this campaign return to their respective units in order to -
rest and be with their families; and to make their return more pleasant for
them, they are given the extra pay that the Secretariat of National Defense
has allocated to those taking part in this activity. -
Considerable Financial Outlay
It is the forces attached to the 26th Infantry Battalion assigned to the
Fifth Mili.tary Zone who are to enjoy the benefits of this extra pay which,
on this occasion, amounts to 2.744 million pesos. And a similar sum will
be given to the troops of the Sinaloa and Durango military zones; so that
there will be an outlay in excess of 8 million pesos, which is fair recom-
pense for tfie effort and dedication of personnel who engage" body and soul,"
in carrying out their important mission for a 6-m~nth period.
The defense secretary remarked that the goal of Operation Condor is the
complete ~~limination of the growing and trafficking of hard drugs, and

~ that the main factor in attaining it has been the constant destruction of
poppy and marihuana plantations detected in the three-state area where, ac-
cording to Galvan Lopez, the Army forces ar.d th~se of the Office of the At- ~
torney General of the Republic have operated in complete cooperation, using
the most modern equipment and at all times attempting to offer a better orga-
nized and prepared line of combat than that of the drug traffickers.
_ Accompanied by Gen Arevalo Gardoqui and nzmbers of his staff, General Galvan
was preparing yesterday to ma.ke a routine visit to the installations of the
lOth Cava~lry Re~iment in Cuauhtemoc. He will subsequently return to this
capital and matce the return trip to Mexico City aboard the FAM [Mexican Air
Force] plane on which he makes constant tours of the entire country.

HIGH COURT DENIES TRAI'FICKER'S APPEAL FOR PROTECTION
Nuevo Laredo EL .'~IANANA in Spanish 4 Jun 80 Sec B p S
_ [Text] Despite the fac~ that he had evaded justice by having the corrupt
agent of the State Public Ministry, Jose Angel Cortes Delgado, declare him
"innocent" in connection with the incident in which the well-known hotel
owner, Antonio Uarcia Gonzalez, was killed, "businessman" Heliodoro Perez
- Guevara will be jailed by the federaZ authori.ties at any moment, because
he will be required to serve a 5-year prison sentence for drug trafficking.
In procaedings No 36-973, held in the 1'hird District Court, "Lolo" Perez was
sentenced to S years in prison and given a fine of 3,000 pesos, when he was
�ound p~nally guilty uf cor,miitting a crime against health in the degree of
marihuana trafficking. He was acquitted of the charge of marihuana and co-
caine possession, and cocaine i.rafficking.
In the s~me trial, the dru~ traffickers Benigno Cepeda Vslero, alias "E1
Chato," Salvador Garza Rivera, Enrique Garza Rivera and Natalio Poera Puente
appeared as Perez Gucvara's accomplices, and also received sentences. Other
individuals were mentioned in the trial, but they are still fugitives from
justice as of this date.
When he was sentenced, "Lolo" Perez sought a release on bail, which was grant- .
ed by the Fourth Circuit Unified Ccurt, whereupon bail was set at a quarter
of a million pesos, which tfie accused paid immediately.
He subsequently appea.led for proi:ection directly from the Supreme Court of
- Justice of the Nation, against the sentence passed on him by the third dis-
- trict judge, wliich hud been confirmed after a second appeal to the Fourth
Circuir_ Unifi~~d Court. .
On 29 January oF this year, the Uni�ied Court notified the court in which
the case was bein; tried that the Supreme Court of the Nation had denied
"Lolo" Perez protection; and hence the order was given to have him report
to the Social Rehabilitation Center to serve the sentence that had been impos-
ed on him.

However, it has been 4 months since "Lolo" Perez was warned, but he has not -
surrendered to the federal authorities. Therefore, according to a report
from the court, the Fourth Circuit Unified Court, located in Monte,rrey, Nuevo ~
Leon, will soon issue the resnective warrant for the recapture of Heliodoro
Pere z Guevara .
He Was Trafficking in Marihuana
In February 1973, the special agent of the PGR [Office of the Attorney General
of the Republic], Salvador del Toro Rosales, ordered the Federal Judicial Po-
lice to conduct an exhaustive investigation of the activities of Heliodoro
Perez Gonzalez, alias "E1 Lolo," and of an individual known as "E1 Chato"
Cepeda.
The first to be captured was Benigno Cepeda Valero, alias "E1 Chato," who had =
~ the brothers Salvador and Enrique Garza Rivera in his employ as workers pack-
ing marihuana.
~ ~
~ They had packed 250 kilograms of grass, which they later took to the residence
ofivatalio Loera Puente, who concealed it in a pit that he dug in the kitchen
of his house.
_ Natalio received weapons (two pistols, a submachine gun and.a rifle) with
which to guard the marihuana, as well as half a kilogram of cocaine, which
"E1 Chato" Cepeda gave him to guard.
When he was interrogated, "E~ Chato" Cepeda confessed that Heliodoro Perez
Guevara often supplied him with marihuana, and that the marihuana which hzd -
beenseized from him previously had been purchased from that individual.
During February 1973, the Federal Judicial Police captured Heliodoro Perez -
Gonzalez who, upon being questioned by Salvador del Toro Rosales, denied all
participation in the drug traffic.

- BRIEFS
MOST TRAFFICKERS NOT ADDICTS--Dr Juan.Manuel Ramirez Fieredia, chief of the
Department of General Medicine at the Health Center, who is responsible for
direct handling of all those arrested for crimes against health, stated that
it has been found that 95 percent of drug traffickers are not addicted to
drugs. He added that drug addiction in Nuevo Laredo has remained stable for
the past 10 years, although, the doctor ob~erved, it may be claimed to be
_ on the decline. He emphasized that this border port has a low index of ad-
dicts using hard drugs, although he admitted that there are plenty of mari-
huana smokers, and very few (proportionately speaking) addicted to inhalants,
such as industrial cement and shoe dyes. In an analysis submitted to the
head of the Health Center, Dr Eduardo Takasita Elizondo, Ramirez Heredia said
that out of a total of 100 persons arrested.for crimes against health, 95 per-
cent are not consumers, and that percentage applies to drug traffickers as
_ well. A total of 10 percent smoke ma.rihuana, but cannot be considered as
dependent on drugs; rather, they do so sporadically,.and only on occasion.
Only 1 percent are estimated to be addicts, that is, dependent on this vice.
ri~~u ~l~cre are ~cry isolated cases of individuals wh~ inject themselves or
inhale hard drugs, such as morphine, heroin or cocaine. Ramirez Heredia
remarked: "It may not be a good thing to say so, but it is true; this type
- of addict is usually of North American origin.".[Text] [Nuevo Laredo EL MANANA

EGYPT -
AIARCOTICS ADDICTION ON THE INCREASE AMONG EGYPT'S YOUTH
Cairo AKHBAR AL-YAWM in Arabic 3 May 80 p 4 -
- [Article: "Less Than 20 Years 01d, and They Are Drug Addicts"!]
[Text] Has drug addiction become a apreading phenomenon among our yot~th?
Dr Jamal Abu al-'Aza'im, chief of the General Societ~ for Prohibiting In-
toxicants and Combating Narcotics, answers this question through a study
prepared by experts and specialists of a large group of Egyptian youth.
In its introduction, the study brings to light a number of important facts, ~
which show that the phenomenon of drug addiction among youth has been con-
tinually on the increase. In the year 1968, the number of drug addicts who
were receiving treatment was 3,600 and the average age of these addicts was
35. In the year 1978, the average age of drug addicts was less than 20. _
Another point the studies bring out is that in the year 196$, 95 percent
of the addicts were taking opium. In 1978 however, new breeds of young men
began to appear, who took other drugs besides opium, like hashish and nar-
cotic pills.
Another phenomenon noted by the study was that in 1978 a large proportion
of girls was turning to smoking and was sometimes taking drugs.
But what are the reasons which have caused drug addiction to spread among
the youth?
Dr Jamal Abu al-'Aza'im says that there are many reasons, foremost among
which is tk~e fact that some of the youth who have gone abroad have found in
~ foreign societies widespread use of drugs of various kinds. Then they re-
turned to Egypt, and became drug addicts.
Dr Abu al-'Aza'im requests that agencies concerned with youth education
should launch campaigns to warn people against the harmful effects of drugs.
Sports and recreational programs should be provided, so that youth may
turn away from drug addiction.

LEBANESE LARGE-SCALE HASHISH SMUGGLERS CAUGHT IN ALEXANDRIA
Cairo AL-AKHBAR in Arabic 3 May 80 p 5
[Article by Muhammed 'Abd al-Maqsud: "Investigations Uncover Attempt To
Smuggle Ztao Tons of Hashish Worth Three Million Pounds in Drums of Chemical
Products; Arrest of Ttao Lebanese Who Brought Them to Alexandria"J
[Excerpt] The Investigations Bureau of the Anti-Narcotics Agency, in co-
operation with the Port of Alexandria lnvestigations Department, has fru-
strated a large-scale operation to smuggle narcotics into Egypt. It has
seized 2 tons of narcotics worth 3 million pounds. 7.tao Lebanese, one of
whom belongs to a family which is notorious for producing narcotics in
Ba'labakk, are th~e ringleaders.
This is the third time that members of this gang have tried to smuggle large
quantities of ndreotics in 3 consecutive years.
- Members of the Investi}~ations Bureau confiscated the smuggled narcotics.
The gang contrived to hide the narcotics in drums which contained the highly -
inflammable substance of calcium carbide,~which has a pungent smell, in
order to mislead the customs officers. These drums caused a panic, which
lasted for 5 hours in the Port of Alexandria, until an explosives expert
opened them and emptied out the chemicals and narcotics which were in them.
The port district attorney decided to detain the two ringleaders, pending
investigation.
Information had reached Maj Gen Sami As'ad, head of the Anti-Narcotj.cs
Agency that a Lebanese gang intended to smuggle a large consignment of nar-
_ cotics from Lebanon to Egypt. He instructed Col Muhammad 'Abbas Mansur, the
director of operations, to track the members of the gang and their movements
in order to ~eize the consignment and the two ringleaders.
The investigations, in whieh Co1 Mustafa ~1-Kashif and Lt CL~. Shafiq al-
'Ashari collaborated, indicated that the gang had reached agreement with
its agents in Egypt to change the route of the smuggling ope~ations. to the
Port of Alexandria. In 1978, two attemgts had failed to smuggle a ton
of narcotics in coils of wire through the Port of Suez, and 1-1/2 tons of
narcotics through Port Said.

APPR~VED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300020011-4
The smugglers devised a new way to hide the narcotics by buying from Italy a
consignment of the highly inflamable substance of calcium carbide which has
a pungent smell, moving it to Beirut, then concealing the narcotics in it
and reshipping it to the 1'ort of Alexandria. They put the narcotics in 48
drums which were marked "Inflaimnable" so that the customs officers would
hesitate to open them.
Maj Gen Mustafa Fir'at, undersecietary for public security, decided to form �
an investigative team under the leadership of Maj Gen Mamduh Salim Zaki,
- and including Lt Col Sayyid Ghayth, Ahmad Nida and Mahmud 'Abd al-Rashid,
to watch the consignment coming from Beirut to Egqpt. The narcotics ar-
rived at the Port of Alexandria aboard the S. S. "Bashir al-Salam," ad-
dressed to 'Abd al-Mun'im Ibrahim al-'Ula, an imaginary person, on 27 April.
The ringleaders arrived by air on 2 May.
A plan was prepared, in collaboration with Maj Gen 'Ali Darraz, director
of security of Alexandria, and Col 'Atif Nasif, director of investigations
of the port. The consignment was placed under secret surveillance. The
ringleaders instructed a customs clearance man who was unaware of its con-
tents to complete the forma~ities at the port, so that neither of them would
~ be exposed to danger. When the clearance formalities began, Col Tahir Ghunaym,
head of the narcotics division at the port, Col Muhammad Barakat and Lt Col
'Imad Rashid, were able to seize the whole consignment. Lt Col Yasri Amin
Yasri, the inspector of explosives, was sum~oned to open the drums. They
had caused a scare, which lasted for 5 hours, at the port. The drums were
opened, and narcotics of the types "Amal Hayati [Hope of My Life]," "Zahrat
al-`Asa 80 [Flower of the Mace]," and "Zahrat al-Hayah 80 [Flower of Life],"
2 tons of hashish, worth 3 million pounds. The two ringleaders were then
arrested. One of them was hiding in a hotel at Heliopolis, and the other
in a furnished apartment. They were taken to the Port District Attorney's
Office and the district attorney decided to detain them, pending the investi-
gations. -

PHYSICIAN, BUSINESSMAN SENTENCED; SMUGGLED HASHISH
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDE~IDE in Danish 8 Jul 80 p 5
[Article: "Doctor Convicted of Hashish Smuggling"]
[Text] Thirty-seven-year-old Doctor Vagn Bremerskov Jensen and 29-year-
old businessman Hans Christian M3chael Andreasen were each sentenced to
four and a half years of prison yesterday in Copenhagen City Court.
(hily the businessman was present at the sentencing and he appealed immedi- _
ately to the High Court for mitigation. The doctor's counsel, Attorney _
Jette Hecht-Johansen, de clared on his behalf that he did not wish to be
prPSent at the sentencin g. She could therefore not come to a decision
on a possible appeal bef ore he had been served the sentence. _
By the ~udgement the two defendants were found guilty of having smuggled
in--together with other co-culprits--102 kg of hashish from Lebanon in
January this year. And besides, of hav3ng earlier attempted three times
to smuggle in a. couple of hundred kilograms of hashish from Nepal, Cyprus
and Lebanon. This was to be done by means of falsified forwarding and
freight documents, as the hashish was to have been smuggled in through
several fictitious firms and through forwarding firms which the physician ~
was to make contact with. The attempts failed for various reasons, in-
cluding the fact that one consignment of 64 kg was confiscated already in
Lebanon. The smuggling which had been accomplished occurred by the same
me thod which was to have been used in the failed attempts.
The physician was in addition also charged and convicted for breaking the
- weapons law. He pleaded guilty to this, while he, as did the businessman,
denied he was guilty of hashish smuggling.
During tize trial was used a great deal of taped material from telephone -
tapping together with Telex material and correspc,ndence, from which in
the opinion of the police it is clearly evidenced that it is a question ~
of hashish smuggling.

ARHUS CLINIC DIRECTOR: DRUG USAGE IN CTTY TNCREASES

[Article: "Arhus can Anticipate More Drug Addicts and More Ghildren of
Drug Addicts"] -
[Text] Whi~e from 1974 to 1977 there was stagnation in the number of drug _
addicts in Arhus, now again a drastic increase is under way. The Social ~
Medicine Clinic in Arhus has, for example, experienced an increase in new
admissions of 50 percent fram 1977 to 1979. And the increase is continu-
ing with alarming speed, says Clinic Director Iwan Mark.
Doubled
~ He expects that the number of new drug addicts on the needle in 1980 will
reach double that of last year's figure, which was 42.
o'he figures appear in the 1979 annual report from the Youth Center in
= Arhus, which has just been published. Here also it appears that there is
- an increasing number of older hard-core needle addicts who seem without
- a big chance for being won back to a more normal life.
Z`he so-called remnant group, who started their abuse already in the 60's,
number today about 100, 41 of them women.
"We have not given up on this severely strained group," says Iwan Mark
from the Social Medicine Clinic. "But we are far from optimistic with
regard to their treatment."
A further problem with the older addicts is that they enter into marital -
relations in which there often are children, too. The increasing number
of pregnancies is due to a natural desire on the part of older addicts to
have a child, while at the same time they often entertain a false hope
that the responsibility of a child will prevent them from abuse. On the
, contrary, it turns out that these children are so difficult because of
_ abstinence symptoms that their mothers often reject them. -

The Youth Center in Arhus will now try to make a special effort for this
group so that the children will get a fair chance in life.
7n 1979 there were 12 addict deaths in ~rhus. In comparison with the
- tragic record of 16 deaths in 1978, it is a question of a drop, but this .
_ is still a very high figure, it says in the report.
"The narcotics problen;5 in ~,rhus are growing ~ar faster than the treatment ~
system has a capacity for," says Iwan Mark.
, "It happens that now we must concentrate on the drug addicts, while in the
more peaceful periods in the middle of the 70's we could also take other
youths with problems, and thi~ has always been the purpose of our clinic," -

HELSINKI COURT'S DIGGEST HASHISH CASE CONCLUDES
Helsinki I~LSINGIN SANON',AT in Finnish 7 Jun 80 p 6
[Article: "16.5 Kilos of Finnish Drugs in Stockholm"j -
[Text] Translator Miika Kortekallio, who was found cJuilty ir_ the largest
hashish case to be heard in the Helsinki Municipal Court, had 16.5 kilos of _
hashish in his possession in Stockholm according to preliminary information
from the Swedish police. Of this amount he sold 10.5 kilos in St~ckholm and
sent the rest to Finland.
Public prosecutor Ritva Santavnori did not present this information as evi-
dence since a complete report had not yet been received from Sweden.
At this time Kortekallio is accused of smuggling approximately 12 kilos of ~
hashish into Finland, of which it is believed that approximately 4 kiloa was
sold previ.ously. Aftar analyzing the informAtion received fro~ Sweden at
least 2 kilos can be added to the amotmt smuqqled into Finland.
At the Alonday.session of the court Santavuori read six new accusations con-
cerning the trafficking in drugs. A bus driver fram Vihtila was accused of
purchasing 1,640 qrams of hashish far 26,000 markkas. According to the
accusation he sold approximately 300 grams of this amount for 12,000 markkas.
A Helsinki advertising agent purchased 1,220 grams for 17,000 markkas and
sold half of this amount for more than 15,000 markkas. In both cases tihe
prosecutor demanded sentencing for gross violation of the drug laws.
At the present time 29 individuals are being accused in the F:elsinki Munici-
pal Court of participation in this so-called nationwide Paukarlahti hashish
case. Court cases will be heard in many other Finnish communities and also in
- Stockholm in the process of identifying this drug ring. It is expected that -
J approxi~?ately 100 people are involved in this mntte r.

COURT SENTENCES ENGINEERS IN AMPHETAMINE LAB CASE
- Helsinki HELSINGIN SANOMAT in Finnish 7 Jun 80 p 6
_ [Article: "Engineers' Drug Ring Sentenced to Imprisonment"] "
[TextJ Three engineers and a correspondent from Helsinki were sentenced to
imprisonment for the establishment of a drug laboratory in the center of
_ Helsinki. The laboratory's chief chemist, Graduate Engineer Heikki Niskala,
_ received a 3-ye~r sentence for criminal violation of the drug laws.
= At the end of last year Niskala entered into the manufacture of amphetamines
with two Finns residinq in Sweden. The intent was to market the drug in
Sweden.
Niskala learned about the secrets of drug manufacturing at the library of
the Technical Colleqe. With the help of another graduate engineer and a
female correspondent he constructed laboratory equipment and testied its
- func~iAnal ability in Helsinki. '
~ The group did not succeed in manufac~uring amphetamines in Finland since the
source substances for the process were wrong. The court found that there
was no evidence that they had even attem.pted to manufacture the druq in Hel-
sinki.
Around January-Februazy the laboratory was moved to Stockholm where the pro- -
cess was continued. Niskala sta~ed that he in fact really did not want to
_ manufacture amphetamines there and knowledgeably used an incorrect procedure. -
- v7hen the Finnish customers residing in Sweden threatened Nfskala's female
; friend with sulfuric acid and also hurt his scientific honor by accusinq him -
of failing, he then manufactured 250 grams of amphetamine.
After this, he taught his compat.-iots in Stockholm how to manufacture the
substance and even sent raw materials from Fihland for the purpose of manu-
facturing approximat~ely 1 kilo of amphetamines.
_ The correspondent who assisted Niskala was accused of qross violation of the
drug laws and was sentenced to 1 year and 10 months of conditional imprisor~-
ment for the manufacture of drugs.

- The mechanical engineer from Helsinki who participated in the procurement of
raw materials and equipment for the manufacture of amphetamines received a
similar sentence. _
The graduate engineer from Helsinki who worked together with Niskala and the
man residing in Sweden was accused of aiding and abetting in the gross viola-
tion of tha drug laws and was sentenced to 10 months of conditional imprison-
ment.
The Finns involved in this matter in Stockholm will be held responsible for
their acts in a local court.

ACTION AGAINST DRUG USE IN SCHOOLS DISCUSSED
Paris LE MONDE in French 2 Jul 80 p 10
[Article by Charles VialJ
~ [Text] Monique Pelletier, minister delegate to the prime minister with re-
sponsibility for the condition of women and for family affairs, and Christian
Beullac, minister of education, jointly presented their "continuing and si-
lent" program to fight against the use of drugs in the school sector.
This action program, whose ob~ective is "to open dialog with young people,"
is predicated upon information and prevention. To this end, the minister of
- education has installed infrastructures: teams in every secondary school
close to the principal or headmaster to hold academic and departmental meet-
ings in the presence of the responsible official of the rector's office on
the subject of drug addiction problems--a kind of "Mr. Antidrug," a designa- `
tion which was encouraged by the minister a few months ago--and national con-
~ ferences.
Dr Nicole Sentilhes, who was placed in charge of the program in February 1980,
revealed that on the basis of her initial observations drawn from visits to
nine academies and 15 schools: "The threat of drugs is greater in the big _
cities and in the ports." This does not mean, however, that the countryside
is free from danger. Young people who regularly shoot up heroin leave school, -
not because they have been expelled but because "the pursuit of normal school
activities is not compatible with the search for drugs."
Drug trafficking is rarely present in the schools, being more frequent out-
side their doors or in neighborhood cafes. One disturbing point, Mme Sentil-
hes emphasized, is the extension of solvent use to the youngest boys and gi,rls.
Mme Pelletier has had talks with legal representatives of druggists with ~
view to regulating the sale of solvents (trichlorethylene, in particuli~,r) and
ether to minors.
A circular issued by Beullac to school rectors has the purpose of devaloF~ng
encounter and life and health clubs where the young people of the school s~c-
tor outside of classes can talk amang themselves and with adults about alco�-
holism, sex and drugs. These clubs, which would somewhat enlarge the scope of ~
the life and health clubs, are present in less than half the schools, a~ccord-
ing to Beullac (LE MONDE, 3 June).

CUSTOMS OFFICERS' DRUG SEIZURES UP 70 PERCENT IN YEAR
Paris LE MONDE in French 8 Jul 80 p 11
[Article by Christian Colombani]
[Text] Not a day goes by without national or international customs depart-
ments reporting drug seizures: in June 1980, 5,000 kilograms of hashish
in Rotterdam; 2 kilograms of heroin at the Tel Aviv airport; 203 kilograms
of hashish in Madrid; 520 kilograms of cocaine in Bolivia. On 24 June,
French customs officials arrested a Cameroon3.an diplomat who was smuggling
43 kilograms of hashish. The Rois~y and Orly ai~ports are among those with
r_?~e greatest amount of narcotics trafficking in the world. In 1979, French
custams departments seized 1,116 k.i,lograms of cannabis, 64 kilograms of
heroin and 43 kilograms of cocaine. Seizures made by customs alone amounted
to 3,910 kilograms of narcotics for the year. This is up 1,674 kilograms
compared with the previous year, or 70 percent more than in 1978. For the
first 4 months of 1980, 8'93 kilograms of cannabis, 1,250 kilograms of heroin
and 11 kilograms of cocaine have already been seized by customs insFectors.
Nigerian of Flight 812
Would they notice the droplets of sweat on his forehead, the fear creeping
_ up his spine? He inched his way forward like a condemned man going to the -
gas chamber. The blue uniform trousers with the red.stripe down the leg,
~ the peaked caps, the grenade ornaments, made his new existence, so near and
yet so far, seem inaccessible: He still had to get through customs. Roissy,
0915 hours, Gate 14: The stream of passengers from UTA Flight 812 from
_ Lagos via Abidjan carried Ma.lam R,,24,, import-export~ agent, along with it..
The Nigerian gripped the handle of his canvas bag until his fingernails
cut into his palm. The 4.6 kilograms of Ind3,an hemp that were to change
his life felt as heavy as lead. "Nothing to declare." The uniformed .
agents did not arrest Malam K., who Murried toward the exit, taward Paris. ~
Fortune smiles on the tiold.
In the windowless, airless customs office, the Nigerian, handcuffed, bent ~
his head, overcome. The dice were still rolling. The mobile squad customs
agents had arrested him on the threshold. Now it was the other scenario, �
. the one Malam had imagined ten times oner and ten times rejected as being . ,

.
bad luck that happens only to other people. "As soon as they are arrested,
they usually offer no further resistance," expluins Inspector Dufay. "It is
more like exhaustion; they act as if they were in a dream."
Customs agents move around the room doing their routine tasks. The almost
daily confiscations no longer pique their curiosity. At the Roissy Airport,
they intercepted 2 tons of narcotics in 1979. In a corner, a cabinet holds
_ the most incredible evidence seized. It is a little museum where imagina-
tion is the rival of absurdity: shoes with fak~ heels, double-bottomed
suitcases, exotic works of art of dubious taste concealing cavities,
fake books, fake travel albums, and so on. "Sometimes we have to take
apart their shoes completely and then we have to buy them slippers to take
them to the police," Gaetan Rouche, a member of the mobile squad, tells us.
The experience of customs agents specialiaing in drug trafficking finally
gets the better of the smugglers' wiles. "They think that by perfecting
their secret places, they will run fewer:risks. That gives them courage,"
Dufay explains. .
The city where the flight originates, the look of the,passenger, also pro-
vide clues. ~"We pay parti:cular attention to planes from Southeast Asia,
the Near and Middle East, South America, BTack Africa." Each itinerary .
has its specialty. Malam, the Black, was smuggling hemp. The evening be-
�ore, a young Chinese from Hong Kong was carrying.heroin. In his pocket ~
was one half of a 10-rupee bill. His contact, a Pakistani, had the oth~er
half. This afternoon, cocaine traffick~rs might arrive on the plane fram
- Bogota. "Usually, they are guys short of money who were offered a return _
ticket." -
- Hot on the trail, the customs agents try to obtain informat~on. A name,
an addrFss. Malam K. is to go to Paris to the house of a friend of his '
brother's living in Belleville. He has never seen him. Investigators ~ ~
from the National Directorate of Customs Investigators (DNED) have been
alerted. They will continue their interrogations and if need be, make
"domiciliary visits." "It is�always the same story. They are rather
unaware of what is happening to them," one inspector says. "The Africans ~
especially scarcely realize that Indian hemp is against the law in France.
There, it is grown right out in the open. They often offer us money as if
we were civil servants in their own country. They also say that the herb ~
is to make soup." It is a story that Malam K. tells in turn because he
promised himself to go through~with .the adventure to the end. "For soup,"
as if saying: "Please, pretend to believe it and let me go back home."
One Better . -
Malam refuses to sign the report: "4.6 kilograms in wrapping paper, a sub- -
stance we immediately recognize~? a~ cannabis in l~~aves and seeds." The
report will be posted on the door. At 1100 hours,~the fate of the Nigerian
is decided: prison; a fine and later, deportation. "His bag smelled like
~ hashish., All you had to do was follow the sce~t," Dufay tells us. So much
for the custom agent's nose. . -

It is 1400 hours. Two men are left in the room, where the typewriters
spit out their reports. AF Flight 204 from Bogota was fruitful. Roberto E.,
26, Colombian, and Josef C., 24, Israeli, both chained to their chairs.
They were carrying cocaine hidden in spray net cans and Polaroid film.
This time, it was the uniformed agents who made the arrest. "I thought that
was cute! I p~esaed on the buttom three times but it was still pretty
heavy. The fourth time,.psstt, no more pressure!"
The open bags are displayed on a table while the agents continue to search �
through them. "It looks hollow inside." The 510 grams of. powder found in
Josef S.'s suitcase and the 1,150 grams discovered in the traveling bag -
belonging to the Colombian are weighed. The seizure is worth an estimated =
1.3 million francs, a major case. The Central Illegal Narcotics Trafficking
Office (OCTRIS) is called in: The "prisoners" wait. "I lost m;~ney gambling
and since I had to get some money together, I bought $24,000 worth. I am
a loser." .
The Colombian says that a woman, a hairdresser, is waiting for him at a
hotel. "She was a stranger and asked me to do this at the Bogota Airport."
No one is willing to believe him a~d he falls silent. The report is pre-
sented to him. "Whether he signs or not, it is the same thing; it is just
- a formality." They wait what seems like an interminable length of time,
_ imagining their far-off freedom. "Can you tell me how much time they will -
give me?" Josef S.. asks. "A year? Ten years? I need to know."
Finally, the drug is turned o~er to police officers from the Central Office,
after taking "about 10 grams f or analysis at the Iaboratories of the Minis-
try of the Budget." The.y sign a paper showing they have received the drug
_ and leave with the men and thefr products. �
It is getting late. The cusroms agents at Roissg have had a full day. Those
who discovered the trick.retell the tale for their colleagues. "I don't
know; you could just tell they were smugglers." Other agents at the inspec-
_ tion stations watch the next flights: the wretched Blacks, the petty
traffickers who gamble th~ir lives for double or nothing, the hangdog looks, _
but also the corpulent businessmen and official travelers who hold on to
their diplomatic briefcases a little too tightly. "The inspectors get
~ nothing fro~ the seizures.because the product is not sold and is destroyed,"
Albert Laot, head of customs at Roissy Airport, points out. Nothing remains
then, but the game of the customs agent and the smuggler and the very moral
alchemy of the customs seizure that turns the drug into smoke.
