JOINT ANTINARCOTIC CAMrti::GN WITH AUSTRALIA
BK051049 Hong Kong AFP in English 1023 GMT 5 Aug 80
[Text] Jakarta, 5 Aug (AFP)--Cooperation between the Indonesian and Aus-
tralian police in the antinarcotic campaign was paid off in the form of
substantially reduced flow of narcotics to Australia and an increasing
number of dope-connected arrests made, according to an Australian liaison
officer here.
Kerry Hill, an Australian senior police antinarco::ic officer posted here _
since January last year under the cooperation arrangement, told the ANTARA
News Agency the narcotic traffic from Indonesia to Australia had been
sharply reduced in the past 20 months. Also, many more arrests have been
made than was the norm previously, he added.
Indonesia being a natural transit area for the narcotic traffic to Australia,
he said it was in Australia's own interest to exchange vital information on
narcotics and suspected narcotic rings with Indonesia and to help train
Indonesian customs as well as police antinarcotic officials.
A number of Indonesian customs officer_a will next yesr undergo training in
narcotic detection in Australia with the use of sleuth-hounds.
He said the drug traffic to Australia follows the route: Thailand to Malay-
sia or Singapore, thence to Aceh or Medan in North Sumatra, and on to Jakarta
or Bali.
Bali, visited by an average 40,000 Australian tourists annually, is a key
.
stepping stone for dope traffickers to Australia, he noted.

HEROIN FLOOD FEARED IN WAKE OF OPIUM GLUT
Toronto THE GLOBE AND MAIL, WEEKEND EDITION in English 19 Jul 80 pp 1, 2
[Text] Montreal (CP)--A glut of opium on world drug markets thie year
could reault in increasing amounts of heroin turning up on the streets of
Montreal and Toronto, police warn.
Capt. Henri Marchessault, head of the Montreal police drug squad, said
yesterday there already has been " a significant iacrease" in heroin
entering the city as a result of the surplus. "We don't have exact
figures yet, but we can see a definite trend developing."
He said his staff recently has been increased to 30 from 22, and arreat
of traffickers of what he termed "hard drugs" such as heroia and cocaine
has been designated top priority b ecause of the problem.
Insp. Ab Michaud of the RCMP's Montreal drug squad estimates that the
number of heroin users in the area has increased in the past 18 montha
to between 2,000 and 2,500 from 1,200. -
"In Toronto they've really seen an increase (in users). The drug aeeme
to be more available than before b ecause of the surplus (on world
markets)."
RCMP Insp. Gilles Favreau attributed the glut of heroin to social and
political chaos in Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Lebanon, making
enforcement of narcotics laws in those countriea more difficult.
He said the four countries had overtaken Thailand and other Southeast
Asian nations as the major supplie rs of the world's heroin. The four are
expected to produce an estimaCed 1,800 tonnes of opium this year, 800
tonnea of which could make its way to Western European laboratories to
be transformed into heroin.
The potential 80 tonnes of heroin that could be produced from this amount
of opium is nearly nine times the demand for the drug in the Weat, he
said.

A U.S. Senate report released this
week warned that an increased flow oi
heroin from the. Near East this year
poses "a severe threat to the increas-
ingly iragile social order of the West.
"The forei~-policy difficulties we
and our allies are experiencing in
Iran, Afghanistan and PakisEsn are
directly linked to the domestic pne-
- nomenon ot increased rates ot over-
dpx deaths. heroin addiction and ille~
gal black marketeering."
Insp. Favreau noted that in the last
few month several large heroin labs
have also been raided in West Germa�
ny, where surpluses ot the drug have
pushed prices down dramatlcally in
the last year.
He said that since January, the
RCMP has uncovered two processing
labs in Montreat, arresting 40 people, -
and warned that existence ot the labs
indicates thaVinternational ~.-ug trat-
fickers may be pianning to use Mon- -
treal and Toronto as distribution
points for heroin in the wake oi the
Iranian revolution. ,
In Torottto, RCMP Insp. David
Browii said the amount and availabili-
_ ty ot heroin is limited now, but he be-
lieves more will soon be on the mar-
ket. He said seizures in New York and
in Europe indicate that world suppl~~es
are increasing, and that means more
would soon arrive in Toronto.
"We usually toqow New York by a
matter ot two to three years," he said..
"And we've seen some major seiz~res ~
there in recent months so we expect
more oi the drug will start to arrive
here soon."

MARIHUANA SHIP IMPOUNDED--Halifax (CP)--All nine men arrested with a ahip-
ful of marijuana off Nova Scotia's south shore more than a month ago ~ave
been returned to their native countries. But RCMP still have the small
motor vessel, the "Patricia," impounded at Shelburne, N.S., awaiting a
federal decision on what to do with it. Eight Columbians and one American
were arrested May 3i ~fter a chase involving the RCMP, the federal
fisheries patrol vessel "Louisbourg" and Canadian and American Coast
- Guard vessels. W. J. Marks, acting director of immigration for the Nova
Scotia region, said Friday the eight Columbians were held in Iialifax for
a month awaiting arrival of temporary travel documents. Then i~igration
officials escorted them in groups of four to New York, where they were put
on a direct ~light to Bagota en route to their homes in Cartagena. The
lone American returned to his home soon after the arreat. The nine
suspects weren't charged in Canada because the "Patricia" was arrested in
an "intermediate zone" 12 to 21 miles offshore. But Canadian laws per-
mitted seizure of their ship and its cargo of 20 metric tons of mari~uana.
RChIP took the mari~uana to the Scott Maritimea Ltd. pulp mill near Pictou
and incinerated it. [Text] [Ottawa THE WEEKEND CITIZEN in English

ONE HUNDRED KILOGRAMS OF MARIHUANA SEIZED IN NORTHERN ZONE
Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese 28 Jun 80 p 18
[Text] Police agents from the 26th District arrested drug trafficker
Jose Carlos de Oliveira, alias Burro da Duda, in Engenho de Dentro yester- �
day afternoon. He is 36 and believed to be one of the largest distributors
of drugs in the northern zone, with sale outlets in Meier, Todos os Santos,
Lins de Vasconcelos and Engenho de Dentro. He was arrested in a room in
the building at 1869 Amaro Cavalcante Avenue, where police seized
100 kilograms of pressed Indian hemp, a scale, a saw and a shotgun.
The drug trafficker would not identify the source of the weed, saying only
that he bought it from a"backwoodsman." He said he sold the hemp at
8,000 cruzeiros per kilogram and that with that quantity he produced
250 cigarettes, which could then be sold at 100 cruzeiros each.
Burro da Duda, whose wife, Duda, is serving a sentence for trafficking in
drugs, said he had always worked in the numbers racket but went into drugs
about a year ago.
"It is easy to deceive the suckers and make a profit. No one sells the
pure stuff. Every ~oint is mixed with grass, manure or dried tomato leaves.
With 1 kilogram, 250 cigarettes or joints can be made."
The drug trafficker said that he dealt ~n he~p "wholesale" and that he
would have received 800,000 cruzeiros for the drug seized.
"But the `smoking outlets' (sale points) would charge much more, for they
collect 25,000 cruzeiros for each kilogram, at 100 per lot. They have
problems I do not have, they liave to pay insurance and for planes
(distributors)."
Arrest
- The investigation leading to the arrest of Burro da Duda began a month
ago, when Detective Paulo Arau~o arrested a drug trafficker named Sabara,

LARGE, MODERN COCAINE PROCESSING PLANT SEIZED
Bogota EL TIII~O in Spanish 31 May 80 pp 1-A, 12-A
[Article by Narciso C3stro Y.]
[Text] Cartagena, 30 May--A cocaine processing plant concealed inside an
industrial chemical plant near Mamonal has been discovered by the police _
and it is estimated that there are several tons of the hallucinog2n in it.
The operation took place yesterday at noon after an investigation by agents
of the Bolivar Division. All of the employees of the laborat4ry, including
the manager, were arrested.
A total of 12 persons were inside the installations of the Northern Chemical
Industry, Ltd. when a police major, accompanied by aeveral uniformed police- _
men, asked to make an inspection to detect the presence of contaminating
gases.
The drug was stored in cardboard drums and in bags in astonishing quantities
and in addition, ~0,000 tablets of inethaqualone and others known as "Yumbo"
were found.
The laboratory operated in a warehouse located at the center of a lot of
approximately one hectare on the highway leading to Mamoaal, across from
the San Carlos college. -
A modern machine brought from Taiwan for the manufacture of tablets was
also found in the yard behind the warehouse.
The general appearance of the Northern Chemical Industry installations did
not arouse suspicion but access to certain areas was restricted by a guard.
The managerial offices of the enterprise occupied a space adjacent to the
warehouse.
The economic value of the drug seized may exceed all calculations and the
impression is that this is the hardest blew that has been struck against
- drug trafficking. ,

Under arrest at the F-2 of th~: puii.ce are Enrique Villureal Pi.:.ros, manager
of Northern Chemical Indust~-,�, Rafa~l Jimenez Marru~u, chemist, and the
following employees: Robin~~._ Uarc.~s Doria, Alvaro Famos Jimenez, Enrique
Alvarez Cervantes, Elvio Pa~~>r-~.ina uiaz, :+~aritza Doria, Norma Gulfo, Gustavo
Linan Macea, Alfredo Diaz rlercac'~ , tiarco Guerrero Gonzalez and Andres
Batista Palacio.
The authorities know that this enterprise be~an oper_ating about 12 years
ago but they have not detei-riined wi~etner t'r:e ~ccaine has been processed
there from the very begii~ning. One of the partners of the enterprisea,
Jorge Cuetter Ilelati, is being seught by the police.
The effectiveness of yesterday's operation was due in part to the cooperation
the neighborhood gave the police.
The Discovery
What led to the discovery of the drug was the nervousness of a chemist ~
working for the enterprise when he became aware of the presence of a police -
_ major who inquired about the possible escape of toxic gases.
_ As a precautionary measure, the police arrested everyone who was at that -
time on the premises and later interrogated them at the F-2 headquarters.
Some of the information obtained from the interrogations agrees with the
existing situation at Northern Chemical Industry, especially with regard to
the fact that many small empty boxes were going to be used in the packaging
of a product which upon examinaCion turned out to contain cocaine.
That product is methaqualone about which no further details are known in the
country, although its degree of toxicity is greater than that of the product
known as "Jumbo 7-14."
In the United States the DEA and other antinarcot~.cs groups search out
- methaqualone traffickers because they consider the damage it does to the
h~an body to be irreversible.
There is a possibility that in addition to the F-2 technicians, certain
_ foreign specialists may come to Cartagena to find o~it about the possible
international connections of the cocaine processing plant.
This morning a truck bearing license p~ate number TP-6252 was about to go
into the Northern Chemical industry installations transporting about 20
drums similar to those in the warehouse containing the drug, its occupants
apparently not aware of what had happened inside the installation. The
driver and the assistant were also arrested.

To Barranca
~ The investigators of the Attorney General's Off ice yesterday were planning
to transfer the prisoners to the city of Barrancaberme~a to place them in

several motor vehicles, will remain in the government's possession and will
be used in the fight against drug trafficking. The clandestine airport,
where the plane was waiting for the shipment of cocaine, had ma~ern aaviga-
tional aids which shows how well organized the ~embers of the ring were.

drug traff icker now in custody, was assassinated in the city of Miami
_ some time ago during the course of a"gang war," and that he was the pro-
prietor of La Esmeralda farm, the succession to which is therefore now in
litigation.
Gcnzalo Jimenez Panesso took advantage of the f act that he was German's
brother dnd had himself named guardian of his brother's children. He availed
himself of this to continue admin~.stering the estate and to ins*_all the
modern laboratory for the proceysing of cocaine which was raided a few days
ago by officials ~f the District Attorney's Off ice.
"Big Fish "
According to official sources, Jimenez Panesso, in addition to being the
proprietor of the Hotel Anaconda in Leticia, owns four modern businesses
at 59th Street and Highway 7 in Bogota and has been accused of the attempted
murder of Horacio Martinez, whom he wounded seriously in a f ight which took
place in Bogota.
Among the various drug traffickers apprehended at.the ~bvve-mentioned farm
in Puerto Wilches is Jaime Forero Ospfna, who transported from Let~.c~.a~:
the 250 kg of cocaine which were seized. For this p~ ~ose he had rented ~
the bimotor Piper which was seized at the f arm's clande:T~ine ~s.rport.
Forero Espina, who along with Jimenez Panesso 3s considered to be one of the
heads of the ring, is the owner of two elegant establishments in Bogota, one
of which is a bar called 2001 located in the northern part of the city.
These pErsons and the others apprehended are in the custody of the Puerto
tidilches Municipal Civil and Criminal Court Judge before whom they have
already begun to undergo qupstioning.

'CAR SNATCHERS' TRADE CARS FOR COCAINE
Bogota EL TIEMPO in Spanish 10 Jun 80 p 14-D -
[Text] An effective operation by the Automotive Group of the F-2 staff
resulted in the discovery of a factory for making false automobile license
plates which were sold to "car snatchers" who in turn exchanged stolen -
vehicles for cocaine.
The operation took place the weekend before last, when agents of the secret
agency apprehended Alfonso Bolivar Jaimes, owner of the license plate
"factory"; Hernan Vasquez, an employee there; and Francisco Javier Martinez,
a helper in the shop.
The factory was located at the Plaza de Espana, in downtown Bogota, where
the false plates were sold to middlemen at the price of 1,500 pesos for
a set, according to the F-2.
They, in turn, sold the plates to the "car snatchers" who attached them to
stolen cars and after "legalizing" the papers for the cars took them to ~
E1 Meta, Caqueta and Putumayo.
- There the criminals were in contact with the drug traffickers with whom
they exchanged the stolen cars for cocaine.
In addition to their dealings with the "car snatchers," the middlemen,
whom the F-2 has already identified, sold registration cards and other
false documents.
According to official reports the factory where the false license plates
were manufactured is located on the north side of Plaza de Espana.
It had a capability to produce 10 sets of plates daily and it was able to
change numbers and letters on them to perfection.
In the raid carried out by the Automotive Group of the F-2, the agents
seized five pairs of plates in the process of being falsified, special
sheets for the manufacture of plates, a suitcase with "punches" (equipment
for making the numbers and letters), a rasp, a die, a press and a large
quantity of paint.
