DRUG-DRIVING RESEARCH--Sydney--A Sydney University research team is developing
a tec.inique to trace drugs in blood samples from road accident victims. The re-
search is aimed at finding how often drugs cause fatal road accidents. The main
research problem has been the state of blood samples when they arrive at the
pharmacy department. The samples are often a few weeks old and, as a result,
the red blood cells have burst. This releases their contents into the serum--
the clear liquid, surrounding the blood cells, which contains traces of any
drugs. This is called haemolysed blood. Normally, fresh blood samples are spun
in a centrifuge to separate the cells from the serum. In haemolysed blood, this
cannot be done. The new method involves putting the blood on an inert substance
like a silica gel. This is basically a very pure fine sand, which absorbs the
blood. A series of different solvents is then washed through the sand to extract
all the drugs. The contents of the blood remain behind, stuck to the silica gel.
The research project began last year. About 25Q case samples have been examined.
_ The research team has found drugs in about 15 per cent of cases and they feel this
underestimates the problem. [Text] [Melbourne THE AGE in English 15 Jul 81 p 21]
AERO CLUB DRUG SCHEME--SydnQy--A Ballarat Aero Club flight to Malaysia was arranged
to disguise a heroin smuggling operation, Central Court was told yesterday.'
Police said that five Sydney men arranged to pay a pilot�$200,000 to bring 18
kilograms of heroin to Sydney. Police tape recorded some of the plan and filmed
most of it. Sidney Wayne Warby, 36, company director, of Baulkham Hills; John
Arthur Willard, 37, mechanic, of Winston Hills; Allan Henry Watson Mitchell,
39, company director, of Five Dock; and Barry Lionel Wootten, 33, haulage con-
tractor, of Warrimoo, pleaded not guilty to having conspired with each other to
imp~rt heroin to Sydney in February this year. Stanley Walter Charlesworth, 55,
company director, of Gladesville, admitted the charge. Mr B. Brown committed
Charlesworth for sentence. [Text~ [Melbourne THE AGE in English 21 Jul 81 p 3]
HEROIN TRIAL FOR FOUR--Sydney--Tfao men and two women were committed for trial at

JAIL FOR HEROIN IMPORT--Sydney--A doctor described as a brilliant student at
Sydney University and who later became a drug and alcohol addict was yesterday
jailed for I5 years for conspiracy to import heroin. Richard John Regan McEvilly,
45, of Bondi, had been convicted on three charges of having conspired with two
men and a woman to import heroin between December 1979, and May 1980. In the
_ District Criminal Court yesterday Judge Hicks said McEvilly's scheme to bring
heroin into Australia was a"tribute to his intelligence." But the police who
investigated the case had shown "skill, ingenuity and persistence" equal to or
superior to his. The court had been told that when he was arrested at Mel-
bourne's Tullamarine Airport in May 1980, McEvilly had been found with a hair-
spray can containing 15 small bags of heroin. [Excerpt] [Brisbane THE COURIER-

GUANGZHOU SECURITY CRACKS DRUG SMUGGLING CASE
HK251436 Hong Kong TA KUNG PAO in Chinese 22 Aug 81 p 4
[Report: "Guangzhou Cracks Drug Smuggling Case"]
[Text] Guangzhou, 22 Aug--After a series of investigations, the Guangzhou public
security organ recently uncovered a drug-trafficking group, which used Guangzhou
as a transit base. Eight men and six women were arrested successively, and 16.95
kilograms of opium was seized.
According to the investigation of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, the dru~;s
_ were brought in by the drug-smugglers at Yunnan border areas from a drug-trafficking
group in a certain country of the "Golden Triangle" in Indochina, and were
transported from Yunnan to Guangzhou by this drug-trafficking group. Then, in
~ Guangzhou, they contacted drug-smugglers in Hong Kong and smuggled the drugs into
Hong Kong through such contacts to make exorbitant profits.
Among the eight men and six women who were arrested, four men were from Guangzhou,
three men and six women from Yunnan and the other man was from Hong Kong. He is
believed to have been a purchaser for a drug-trafficking group in Hong Kong.
It is clear now that the seven people are the key persons in the drug-trafficking
group. They are awaiting trial by the legal organs in Guangzhou.
This case came under investigation in April this year. At that time, quite a few
Guangzhou residents had reported to the Public Security Bureau of Guangzhou, saying
that some people were using this city as a transit station to smuggle drugs from
the "Golden Triangle" into Hong Kong.
After thorough investigations, the public security men in Guangzhou began their
~ arrests on 7 May. On that day, two local men were first arrested along with a
Hong Kong visitor on Guangzhou's Nonglinxia Road while they were making an opium
deal, and 3.35 kilograms of opium and some 8,000 yuan were found on the scene.
Based on clues, the public security men made another arrest that night, and this
time a couple was arrested in Guangzhou's Xiangqun Hotel. They flew to Guangzhou
from Yunnan's Kunming in April to "establish contact" for trafficking drugs.
On 10 May, the public security men arrested another two men and one woman at
Guangzhou Airport, who also came from Kunming, and in their three boxes of "Yunnan
rutabagas," 9 kilograms of opium was found.

another man ia~ tront of the entrance to the Provincial Peo~.le's Hospital in Guangzhou
and seized ~.S kilograms of opium. On the same day, three women were arrested
~uat at the moment they wexe getting on an airplane to fly back to Kunming. They

acreage sown to the opium poppy in the area of Southwest China bordering Burma has
noticeably increased in accordance with the authorities' instructions. It is
reported that the authorities permit peasants in Yunnan Province's (Xishan) and
other areas to plant the opium poppy on their private plots. Opium production is
organized in Kunming, Nanning and other cities, and narcotics are shipped,to black
markets in the world through the Golden Triangle. There are also drug addicts in
China. According to reports from Guangzhou, the local police are taking emergency

BAHAMAS
PRIr~ MINISTER DISCUS~ES ISSUE OF DRUGS
FL261840 Nassau TRIBUNE in English 19 Aug 81 p 1 ~
[Article by Gladstone ThurstonJ
[Text] Prime Minister Lynden Pindling has called for more cooperation between his
gover~ent and the United States in wiping out *_he billion dollar drug trade and
alleviating the migration of Haitians to the Bahamas and America.
Addressing a press confe-ence in Treasure Cay, Abaco, the prime minister also
_ continued his lobbying for the Bahamas to be included as a country which is exempted
fram the U.S. canventi_on-tax act. �
On Friday last, Mr Pindling at Treasure Cay declared officially open a$3 million
airport which can accommodate big ~ets. He saw Abaco as being in a strategic and
important position as far as the development of the northern Bahamas is concerned.
During the press conference Mr Pindling was asked whether he was looking to the
U.S. Gover~ent to do anything to assist hi:~ in his development programs or, '
conversely, whether there is anything which the United States ought not to be doing.
"One of the things that we hope the U.S. Government might see fit to do would be
to include the Bahamas as a country which is exempted from the convention-tax act,"
Mr Pindling said, "which will allow U.S. conventions to be held in the Bahamas
without penalty to those American companies which hold those conventions."
Since the U.S. passed this law 3 years ago the Bahamas has lost an estimated $50
million in revenue, according to Director-General of Tourism Baltron Bethel.
Also, Mr Pindling continued, there would need to be some assistance given to the
Bahamas in materials and technical support so that the Bahamas can more properly
and efficiently stem and eliminate completely the drug trafficking which goes through
the Bahamas en route to the United States.
"There are requirements which will be of assistance to us such as reconr~issance
aircraft, fast patrol boats, sophisticated communication systems for shiP=to-shore,
shore-to-air, ship-to-air which could better enable us to do the job which we think
we need to do," Mr Pindling said.

APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400050027-3
Although this assistance will benefit the Bahamas, since the Bahamas is the last
port of call before the drugs enter the United States, it will also be uf benefit
to the United States.
."It is also important for us to do something about this as well because of the
great damage it is causing to the human resources of the Bahamas and it is setCing
back the economic development process of the Bahamas and is ruining the social
infrastructure of the Bahamas," Mr Pindling said.
Mr Pindling said he would have no hesitation whatsoever in telling any American
boatman or yachtsman to continue with any plan for cruising the waters of the
Bahamas despite the drug trafficking.
"I think there i.s no doubt that he will enjoy the full hospitality of the Bahamas,"
Mr Pindling said. "There is a possibility that he might run into either some of
_ his own countrymen who are breaking the laws of the Bahamas, or he may run into
some of my countrymen who are breaking the laws of the Bahamas with the full aid and
assistance of his countrymen, but you are not to be upset with us if we attempt
to bring your countrymen and our countrymen to justice." ~
He noted that there have been cases which have been reported in the press recently
which are largely law enforcement cases where the Bahamian police and Defenee
Force agencies were endeavoring to enforce the law.
"But it is our objective to keep the land and water areas of the Bahamas safe for
Bahamians and non-Bahamians alike and whatever is happening ought not to deter
non-Bahamians alike and whatever is happening ought not to deter non--Bahamians from
enjoying our waters," Mr Pindling said.
The prime minister was asked to comment on the Reagan administration's policy
towards the Haitian refugees.
Mr Pindling said he saw the report about what purports to be a policy statement by
the Reagan administration relating to the Haitian refugees.
"I think it would not stem the flow of Haitian refugees to the Bahamas or the United
States," Mr Pindling said. "What would stem the flow would be some economic
program in Haiti that might offer some kind of hope to these thousands of people
who risk their lives almost every day in small open sailing and sometimes motor
_ boats to leave their shores and come to the Bahamas or the United States."
But Mr Pindling said he was not sure whether that would stem the flow either as it
would require such massive resources. The Haitians, he said, would need to see
- samething happening in their country which would make it unnecessary for them to
take that kind of a chance.
In a way, Mr Pindling said, he was happy that Florida is experiencing the influx of
Haitian refugees "because when we spoke of this before and had to take determined
action we were sometimes looked at as evil men. Now of course, that problem has
landed on the doorsteps and in the living rooms of the Floridians. They realize
that we were not unreasonable and evil men at all and their solution is no better
than ours.

"I think this will require some joint action that might involve discussions between
governments of the United States, Haiti and ourselves to see what approach might
be taken to ameliorate the whole situation. It is a very sad case of human misery."
Abaco is in a strategic and important position as far ds the development of the
northern Bahamas is concerned, Mr Pindling said. Andros is similarly located and
is the key to the economic development of the western Bahamas. Exuma, he said,
is the key island as far as the development of the southern Bahamas goes.
"The development strategy therefore would be to promote and encourage economic
development in Abaco, Andros, Exuma and other islands to the south of Exuma, having
regard to the peculiar geographic features of each," he said. -
The economic development of Abaco, he said, will at this stage revolve around its
tourist, agriculture and fisheries potential. In due course of time, as those three
come into focus, there would be considerable spin-offs from each.

TURK SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS FOR HEROIN SMUGGLING
Hamilton THE ROYAL GAZETTE in English 5 Aug 81 p 2
[ExcerptJ A Turkish fashion designer involved in a$250,000 heroin smuggling
racket was yesterday jailed for 10 years. Ali Kilci, 25, admitted importing
about four and a half ounces of 50 percent pure heroin on January 30 after
being hired in London to work for the inter.national spy ring.
The Supreme Court heard how Kilci was approached in the English capital where
he lived and offered about $6,000 plus expenses to travel through Bermuda to
Jamaica to collect a package containing drugs. At the time, shortly after
Christmas, Kilci was unemployed, defending counsel Mr Toomas Ounapuu, said.
"Mr Kilci became scared at the mention of the word drugs," he said. "But on
January 14 he Zooked at his financial position and decided to take the chance." ,
A third man, known as Donny, told Kilci of the plan to come to Bermuda where he
would meet some contacts before flying on to Jamaica. He would return to Bermuda
before heading back to London.
"Ki.lci asked what kind of drug it was and he was advised that it was cocaine,"
Mr Ounapuu continued.
Kilci told his English wife that he was going to a fashion show ar~d left for
Bermuda with about $1,400 expenses f rom the drug dealers. After staying at
the Bermudiana Hotel Kilci travelled to Montego Bay, Jamaica, where he was
given the drug package.
He met up again with llonny and was told that if anything went wrong he.would
get 10 years in ~ ail.
"Kilci was surprised at the possible severity of the sentence and told thean
that he didn't want to do it," said Mr Ounappu. "He was told that he had no
_ choice and that if he didn't do it he would be physically harmed. Kilci
reviewed the situation and decided to go through with it."
He concealed the package inside his underwear and flew back to Bermuda. He
was arrested by narcotics officers while still on the aircraft. From then on
Kilci was cooperative with Police, the court was told.
He took part, using a dummy drug package, in a scheme which led to the arrest
of other members of the drug ring at a Police stake-out at the Bermudiana Hotel.

DRUG SUPPLY CHARGE--Berwyn Dears appeared in magistrates court yesterday on
drugs charges. Dears, 35, of North Street, Hamilton, is accused of possess-
ing diamorphine with intent to supply and possessing cocaine and cannabis.
Miss Elisabeth Arfon-Jones, prosecuting, said 52 foils of heroin were involved
in the charges. It is alleged that the offences were committed on Court
Street on Monday. Dears was remanded until April 16. He was granted bail of
$2,000 as well as a$2,000 surety, on condition that he reported daily to Hamil-
ton Police Station. [Text] [Hamilton THE ROYAL GAZETTE in English 2 Apr 81 p 2]

MAIL SEARCH PROPOSAL--Search of incoming first-class mail by Police for hard
drug imports will most likely be considered by members of the Misuse of Drugs
Committee soon. So said the committee's chairman Mr Roderick Pearman yester-
day on the heels of a statement made this week by St Brendan's Hospital psychi-
atrist Dr Michael Radford--who saicl that Police search of drugs would be one
way Government could control imports of hard drugs such as heroin. Yesterday,
Dr Radford said that while mail searches might be one possibility, he was not
sure how Bermudians would react to having their mail opened. Mr Pearman said
that his committee had considered recommending that Government allow mail
searches three years ago, but decided to hold off. "We had explored mail
searches in great depth three years ago and at tha t time the feeling was that
it just would not be a palatable situation for Bermudians to be subjected to--
having their first class mail searched. This is something that can be dis-
cussed again when the situation demands that it be discussed." Mr Pearman said
that several cases had appeared before the courts of hard drugs being imported
~hrough first class mail and that this might have been avoided if Police had the
power to search the mail. [Excerpt] [Haiailton THE ROYAL GAZETTE in English
3 Aug 81 p~ 1,3] The Progressive Labour Party has come out strongly against
the suggestion.made by Mr Roderick Pearman, chairman of the Misuse of Drugs
Committee, that consideration be given to the search of first class mail for
hard drug import. Mr Frederick Wade, Shadow Minister of Finance, said that
such a step would be a flagrant violation of people's human rights. Mr Wade
stressed that there were other ways and methods that could be used to detect
drugs without violating the right to privacy. "At the moment, Government uses
dogs who are trained to sniff out cannabis, but they can also get dogs who are
trained to detect other drugs as well," he said. [ExcerptsJ [Hamilton THE

BRAZIL
ENGINEER USES DIPLOMATIC POUCH TO TRANSPORT HASHISH
Engineer With Cocaine Arrested
Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese 31 Jul 81 p 9
[Text] Engineer Roberto Claudio Silva da Silveira of the Rio de Janeiro Highway
Department (DER-RJ), arrested last Friday with almost a kilo of cocaine and accom-
panied by Dr Jairo Luciano Cabral, was previously involved in Greece with the
trafficking of 27 kg of hashish coming from Nepal and destined to arrive in Brazil
through means of a diplomatic pouch sent via the Brazilian Embassy in Belgium.
According to the Federal Police, this information was supplied by an INTERPOL
source which also gave the name of a Belgian, Mark, as the engineer's accomplice.
At the time--the end of 1973--it was Mark himself who was arrested in Greece.
Roberto Claugio parted from his accomplice in India, passed by~way of Paris and
continued to Rio where he was to await the merchandise, "since Mark was to make
the arrangements at the embassy."
The INTERPOL source believes the engineer was bringing cocaine to Europe before
going to get hashish in Nepal. The international police investigations even suc-
ceeded in ident~.fying the diplomat whose name was u~ed by the traffickers. In the
report made at the time it was revealed that the shipment, made with diplomatic
immunity, was to be labeled a"shipment of persian rugs."
The box containing the Persian rugs and hashish shipment was in the name of Engin-
eer Roberto Claudio Silva da Silveira and was already closed and sealed with the
Brazilian Embassy as the remitter. It is now known why Mark went to Athens. He
entered Greece by car and was accosted by the police near the center of the cap-
ital. The local~police had already been alerted by INTERPOL.
The source said that the box was opened after the police ~ound almost a kilo of
hashish in the instrument panel of the car driven by Mark. When the Belgian was
arrested, he said that a dipl.omat was involved but that he himself was innocent
and that the drug belonged to Brazilian Roberto Claudio.
Information about Mark's arrest and the seizure of the hashish was held up for some
time by Europe's INTERPOL to allow its agency in Brazil and the Federal police to

prepare for action. Roberto Claudio, who had been awaiting the merchandise in Rio
for sometime, wrote several letters to Zurich where Mark resides. Those letters
were intercepted by the police.
Difficult Deposition
Deputy Valterson Bothelo of the Narcotics Bureau has not yet received a deposition
from Engineer Roberto Claudio, who is still being held in Ponto Zero prison in
Benfica. When he was arrested last Friday, his statements were taken down by a
clerk, but the engineer refused to sign. After three attempts, the deputy gave
up the interrogation since the engineer said he would make a dsposition only in
curt.
The inquiry proceedings were forwarded to the 28th Criminal Court and are in the
custody of Prosecutor Rafael Saraiva who is to make the formal charge by Tuesday.
If no further investigation is requested by that time, Judge Mario Ernesto Fer-
reira will set a day and hour for the hearing. The period for referring the in-
quiry to a court of justice expires today. The procedure applicable to drugs is
a brief ceremony.
~ Various depositions have already been made a part of the inquiry, principally those
of individuals whose names are on the list which was in the possession of the en-
gineer. Some of those names--about 100--have detailed accounting notations in the
margins, such as quantities of cocaine in grams, the value and date of a given
transaction, but not methods of payment since the engineer conducted much of his
trafficking on a credit basis.
Intensive Activity
In Roberto Claudio's apartment the police confiscated many receipts of deposits
made in Account No 52 270 at Baner~ Agency, Visconde de Piraja, 559. From the vol-
ume,of receipts and notations kept almost on a daily basis, the police believe
there was intensive activity in the sale of drugs at that apartment.
The police also found a total of 847 grams of cocaine at the engineer's apartment
already broken down and separated into bags. Each bag had a label giving the quan-
tity in milligrams, price and name of the customer. The engineer's list also con-
_ tained the name of Dr Jairo Luciano Cabral. One of the notations indicates a debt
of 150,000 cruzeiros. There was also a precision scale and a large number of
checks ranging from 5,000 to 394,000 cruzeiros.
The inquiry will also be aided by a blue-covered notebook containing notations
connected with the cocaine traffic; this was found at the home of a Frenchman, a
travel agent, with names, telephone numbers and addresses. The Frenchman was ar-
rested at the engineer's apartment but, after making a deposition, was released
by the police "due to lack of sufficient evidence to hold him." At Dr Jairo
Luciano Cabral's home the police found a plastic bag "with an unspecified quanity
of marihuana" in addition to two precision scales.

Two More Traffickers Arrested
Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese 5 Aug 81 p 13
[Text] In addition to Engineer Roberto Claudio and Dr Jairo Cabral, two more per-
sons were charged by Prosecutor Rafael Cesario with drug traff icking: travel agent
Jean-Pierre Laeitre and bank clerk Lidia Queiroz Esteves. Judge Mario Ferreira
of the 28th Criminal Court received the accusation and set Monday at 1300 hours
as the time of the interrogation of the accused. The trial will continue and will
be conducted in the privacy of the court as decided by the judge.
Yesterday new documents were made a part of the proceedings and the number 084/81
was assigned to the trial. A courier from the Narc~tics Bureau hand-delivered to
Prosecutor Rafael Cesario a large brown envelope full of papers among which were
bank deposit receipts, sheets with notations and a blue-covered notebook contain-
ing telephone numbers and addresses. There were also checks ranging in amounts
from 3,000 to 397,000 cruzeiros and a separate list of issuers whom the police con-
sider addicts.
Secrecy Broken
Yesterday afternoon at the prosecutor's office, Judge Mario Ferreira, irritated,
wanted to know how 0 GLOBO had managed to break the court's secrecy inasmuch as
the accusation made by the Attorney General's Office against the four persons ac-
cused of cocaine trafficking was delivered directly by the prosecutor to the judge
without passing through the criminal court's record office, as is customary pro-
cedurP.
After assuring the magistrate that he gave no information wkatever to the rsporter,
the prosecutor asserted that the reporter had received confidential information
about the trial from Attorney Evaristo de Moraes Filho who is defending bank clerk
Lidia Cristina O,ueiroz Esteves.
Prosecutor Rafael Cesario told a colleague yesterday that he was studying the pos-
sibility of extending the secrecy of the trial "even until after the judge passes
sentence." He also said he hopes further investigation will reveal other traffick-
- ers. He plans to send a request to the magistrature asking Deputy,Milton da Costa,
director of INTERPOL, to prevent Dr Jairo Luciano Cabral from giving further con-
sultations.
The doctor is being held with Engineer Roberto Claudio in the Ponto Zero prison
in Benfica, and only yesterday he began to speak to newspaper people by telephone.
As for the engineer, the doctor said he was unable to respond "as he was very ill,
apprehensive due to lack of cocaine."
Transporting Drugs
In his accusation the prosecutor points out that both Jairo and Roberto Claudio
were caught red-handed by the police who found the following items in the Jardim
Botanico apartment: about 1 kg of cocaine, already packed in bags, a precision
scale and documents pertaining to drug traffic.

APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400050027-3
Of the other two persons accused, only the Frenchman, Jean-Pierre, was in Roberto
Claudio's apartment when they were caught red-handed. The bank clerk was charged
since, according to the police, documentation found in the engineer's house im-
plicated her in the trafficking. Jean-Pierre and Lidia are listed as go-betweens,
that is, persons who deliver the drug from the trafficker to the addict.
It is mentioned in the proceedings that the action taken by the Narcotics Bureau
against the bank clerk resulted from a tip given by a father whose 16-year-old son
was led by the group to become an addict. Lidia's name was the first obtained by
the police, and that started the investigation which ended up in the trio's being
caught red-handed. The court was ~lso given a deposit receipt made out by Roberto
- Claudio in Lidia's name covering the sum of 160,000 cruzeiros and deposited in her
account at the banking institution where she works.
Hashish From Greece
An informer stated yesterday that "in one of his rare lucid moments at Ponto Zero
prison Roberto Claudio said he will produce a witness who will prove he is inno-
cent in the affair involving the seizure of 25 kg of hashish in Greece."
According to his new version, the witness is a woman, a friend of the engineer who,
in 1973, traveled with him to the East.
"Roberto Claudio and that woman were traveling together when, either in Iraq or
Pakistan, they met the Belgian, Mark; he was traveling by car and offered them a
ride. The three went together to India and, as the couple made many purchases,
particularly Persian rugs, the woman gave the name of a Brazilian diplomat in Bel-
gium who would forward the merchandise to Brazil."
According to the informant, Roberto Clau3io will maintain in his interrogation that
the diplomat and his traveling companion at the time "are friends and were even
neighbors."
"Roberto Claudio assured me that he did not intend to use the diplomatic pouch to
send the purchases to Brazil. The diplomat was only going to be kind enough to
arrange a normal shipment without compromising the Brazilian Embassy in Brussels.
"Roberto and the girl left Mark while they were still in India, proceeded to Paris
and thence to Rio, while the Belgian continued traveling by car. He promised to
go by way of Brussels and deliver the box, which was in the engineer's name, for
shipment. But on the way he must have purchased the hashish and, upon crossing
the Turkish border, was arrested by the Greek police," the informant concluded.
In the Federal Police file, information from INTERPOL on Engineer Roberto Claudio's
activities abroad indicates that the 25 kg of hashish seized in Greece was hidden
among the Persoan rugs in the engineer's box and that the hashish had been trans-
ported by the Belgian in his car. Other informati~n indicates the confiscation
of certain letters sent by Roberto Claudio from Rio to Zurich--where the Belgian
had his permanent residence--complaining about the nonarrival of the shipment.
Mark was already arrested at the time he had reported the engineer's involvement

BRAZIL
COCAINE USE UP DUE TO CHEAP ACETONE, ETHER
Rio de Janeiro JORNAL DO BRASIL in Portuguese 29 3u1 81 p 14
[TextJ Federal Police agents reported that in a ye:~.r the use of cocaine has risen
about 40 percent and that almost all the drug coming from Bolivia and Peru is
being distilled in the country's principal capitals. The basic products used in
preparing the drug--ether and acetone--cost much Iess in Brazil. Traff ickers are
taking advantage of this and setting up distilleries in deserted spots in cities
of the interior.
The almost unlimited purchasing power of major traffickers, addicts related to im-
portat persons and a lack of organization on the part of antidrug departments are
cited by the Federal Police as the reasons for the increased traffic. According
to the agents, it automatically follows that it is more difficult to catch indi-
viduais red-handed inasmuch as cocaine is used in luxury hotels ar.d wealthy man-
- ~sions and involves persons connected with the country's political machine.
Major Traffickers '
According to information at hand, the police are not able to catch anyone red-
handed in large hotels since agents are not prepared to frequent "those circles."
An operation in Rio`s principal nightclubs is also unfeasible as the agents always
run up against ~ndividuals who say: "Do you know with whom you are speaking?"
Catching the major traffickers--which the police consider impossible--is very dif-
f icult, for such traff ickers do not deal directly with drug transactions and it
is always the smalltime traffickers who end up in court.
"Cocaine is being widely used by high society, and the middle class--despite cer-
tain difficulties--has also begun to use it," a Narcotics Bureau informant said.
The police added that they have also been informed about traffic carried on by im-
portant persons; but catching someone red-handed or even following a clue which
may be accepted by the courts is "virtually impossible." The Federal Police is-
- sued a report recently containing the names of the principal traff ickers--a step
below the bigtime traffickers--who are operating in Rio.
The report cites the following: Flay Campos de Queiros, son of Pedro d.e Queiros,
one of the biggest distillers of cocaine at the Brazil-Bolivia border; Alcione

SPANISH COCAINE TRAFFICKER ARRESTED--Campinas--Jose Ausio Soler, a 29-year-old
, Spaniard in Brazil for 4 months as a tourist, was arrested by the Americana police
evening before last; he was carrying 38 grams of pure cocaine which was to be
taken to Spain and exchanged for LSD which was to be sold in the Campinas area.
Early yesterday morning five addicts were arrested and, at the Holiday Inn where
Soler was staying, the police found a"cash book" containing the names of drug pur-
- chaserse Soler confessed that a traff icker colleague, Jose Maria Martinez de
- Carneiro, also a Spaniard, ~eft the country last week "carrying 10 grams to be ex-
changed." However, the police believe that Martinez left with more than 50 grams
estimated to be worth about 200,000 cruzeiros. Jose Ausio Soler's arrest was
made possible through tips received by the Americana Police Precinct. According
to City Deputy Adolpho Magalhaes Lopes, "early in the investigation a police of-
ficer purchased 2 grams from Soler, thus proving that he was a traff icker." Wed-
nesday evening the police went to the Holiday Inn and arrested Jose Ausio Soler
who had the 38 grams of cocaine with him for sale in Americana. After the arrest,
the investigators remained in tne room and early in the morning arrested five per-
sons who had come to purchase cocaine. Their names were not revealed. Jose Ausio
Soler has already served time in the Barcelona penitentiary for trafficking co-
caine. Yesterday the Aermicana police began to verify the names of those involved
with him. Confronted by the press in the afternoon, Sol~r said that he had pur-
chased the cocaine in Campinas but did not know the seller's name. "It was in the
center of the city and I do not know the person," he said. The trafficker also
confessed that his colleague had been trafficking drugs for months. The proceed-
ings of the inquiry will be sent to the Federal Police, the Special Narcotics
Bureau c~ the DEIC [Criminal Investigations Department] and the Foreign Police
Headquarters where the Americana Precinct will request Soler's expulsion. [Text]

RECORD MARIHUANA BUST--In an unprecedented operation, the Rio Grande do Sul police
and the Federal Police broke up one of the biggest drug-trafficking gangs operating
in the country. Until now, 28 persons have been indicted, part of whom are already
in prison. They were distributing marihuana in eight states under the leadership
of Luis Newton Oliveira Galeano, a native of Rio Grande do Sul. This affair had
been pursued secretly for the last 16 months when the seizure of 110 grams of mari-
huana in Sapucaia do Sul, a suburb of Greater Porto Alegre, gave rise to investi-
gations which were to be extended to various states, principally Parana and Santa
Catarina. [Text] [Sao Paulo 0 ESTADO DE SAO PAULO in Portuguese 6 Aug 81 p 26)

Vindication
The ruling of the Court, which apparently is not subject to review by the Supreme
Court, carries special importance not only in clearing the dismissed judge's good
name but also in regard to the suit she has brougfit before the Council of State
seeking the annulment of the action by which the Superior Judicial Council removed
her from her post for clearcut ma.lfeasance on the basis of the principle of
"known truth and good faith." This was the first dismissal case handled by the
council since it began functioning.
The Case of the "Cocaine Queen"
It may be recalled that the scandal which culminated in the removal of Dr
Izquierdo de Pava resulted from the capture of Marleny Orjuela de Sanchez during
the course of an operation carried out by personnel of the national attorney gener-
al's off ice during whictc the woman mentioned--whom someone called "Cocaine Queen"--
and Hector Yepes Morales and Jose de Jesus Rodriguez were captured, the latter two
in possession of several kilos of cocaine.
During the investigation Judge Izquierdo de Pava set Marleny Orjuela de Sanchez
= free and that gave rise to the appointment of an inspector from the Attorney
General's Off ice to examine the judge's actions.
Dismissal and Trial
While the scandal kept growing the judge carried out new investigations and, chang-
ing her initial decision, handed down a detention order against the presumed
"Cocaine Queen." Meanwhile, disciplinary action had been initiated which culmin-
- ated in the judge's dismissal by the Superior Judicial Council and in the launching
of an investigation of her for the presumed crimes of malfeasance in office and
arbitrary detention.
The Dropping of Charges
The Bogota Superior Court decided this latter suit yesterday with the permanent
dismissal of charges against the judge who had been removed on the gr~unds that
she had freed the accused woman because at that moment in the proceedings there
was not sufficient basis for handing down an order for detention due to the fact
that personnel from the attorney general~s office who had captured her did not
provide the necessary evidence, nor did they came to the judge's office to make
the appropriate declaration.
Rulings
. Also the Court ruled that since the only statement against Marleny nad been given
by Jose de Jesus Rodriguez, one of the accused, and that since that statement,
taken by the personnel of the attorney general's office, had not been in
accordance with legal formalities, the judge, naturally, could not consider it as
having sufficient legal weight to order the detention of the accused woman. In
reaching the conclusion that Dr Izquierdo de Pava acted within the law, the court

also took into account the fact that during his questioning Rodriguez himself '
denied the charges he had made and maintained that the signature which appeared
_ on the statement was not his. The man~s assertion was subsequently corroborated
by the expert graphologists of the Institute of Lega1 Medicine, a fact which
demonstrated that the judge acted correctly in not accepting that supposed proof
as valid.

DEPUTiES CALL FOR SUSPENSION OF COCAINE DESTRUCTION
Bogota EL TIII~O in Spanish 29 Jul 81 p 7-B
[TextJ Deputies Edgar Orozco and Jesus Carvajal have requested that the govern-
ment immediately suspend the destruction of the coca crops in Cauca.
The two deputies asked the government to stop that action while promoting alterna-
tive econamic measures to provide for the subsistence of the Indians and farmers
who have engaged in coca cultivation.
This petition is contained in a document which the two deputies presented to the
lower House.
The document had initially been presented as a proposal of the Congress but in the
end they let it stand as a position paper.
But at the same time another proposal was approved which establishes a parliamentary
co~nittee which, together with a government committee, is to study the socio-
economic and political situations which are developing in the south of Cauca
Department because of the destruction of the coca fields.
The text of the statement is as follows:
"The undersigned deputies respectfully request the president of the republic, Julio
Cesar Turbay Ayala, and the minister of ~ustice, Dr Felio Andrade Manrique, to order
the immediate suspension of the destruction of coca fields in Cauca Department
unti.l the government has complied with Article 60 of the Decree 1188 of 1974
(National Drug Law) which provides that "the national goverrnnent shall promote
alternative economic measures to provide ~or the subsistence of the Indians and
the farmers engaged in the cultivation of coca before this statute goes into
effect." ~
The text of the proposal approved by the Congress is as follows: ~
"A parliamentary committee is to be established by this body~s leadership so that,
jointly with a co~ittee appointed by the executive branch of the government, it
may travel to Cauca Department and specifically to the municipalities of Patia,

COCAINE, MARItNANA RAIDS DESCRIBID--Patrols of police specialized in the fight
against narcotics dealt two new ~lows against the drug rings operating in Colombia
when they seized more than 5 tons of marihuana and a crop of coca leaves. The
operations took place in the urban periphery of Cienaga, Magdalena, where authori-
ties found in a warehouse 130 packages ready for export and weighing 4.5 tons.
When the drug traffickers became as~are of the police they escaped, leaving behind
several firearms. Elsewhere in the same area, in a residence a~. the corner of
22nd Street and Highway 23, agents found more than a ton of pressed marihuana.
Jose Angulo Soto, Carlos Otero Cano and Eduardo Salazar Lara who were arrested in
that operation, were in possession of a submacl~inegun'with two clips, six boxes of
9 mm-caliber bullets, 300.30-caliber cartridges and a hydraulic press. And finally,

ANTIDRUG CAMPAIGN RESULTS FOR FIRST HALF REPORTED
Culiacan EL SOL DE SINALOA in Spanish 13 Jul 81 p 7
[Text] The activities carried out during the first half of the year by the Office
of the Attorney General of the Republic in the battle against drug trafficking
increased in comparison with the same period last year, as did the results, owing
to the fact that the excellent rainfall in 1980 caused the drug plantations to
thrive more.
In making the foregoing statement, Hector Aviles Castillo, coordinator for Zone 06
of the permanent campaign against drug trafficking noted that, as of 30 June of
this year 486 individuals were arrested and tried; whereas, last year, the number
was 293. The seizures this year amounted to 2 tons, 562,555 kilograms, compared
with 640,636 kilograms last year.
In 1981, the amount of seed confiscated totaled about 50,092 kilograms, in contrast
to 5,130 ktlograms; a~d, as for poppies, the figure was 7,396 kilograms in 1981
compared with 11,645 in 1980. This year, 24,552 kilograms of opium gum were seized,
while the 1980 figure was 1,714 kilograms. According to Aviles Castillo, this
year, 4,300 grams of heroin were seized, compared�with 5,237 in 1980.
The department has also seized cocaine amounting to 85 grams in 1981; whereas, last
year, the amount was 20 grams. Seizures were made of 9,976 toxic pi~ls, compared
with 1,846 confi~scated during the first half of 1981.
This year, five clandestine laboratories which had been used for processing drugs
were destroyed, 54 vehicles were confiscated and two sma.ll aircraft were seized.
The battle to destroy plantations has undergone a considerable increase, and hence
the coordinator stated that all the equipment has had to be used for the longest
possible period of time, bringing satisfactory results, and the harvesting of the
plants has been precluded, thus avoiding their distributio~ both in the country and
abrAad. '

PLANS FOR ANTIDRUG CAMPAIGN DISCUSSED AT MEETING
Mexicali LA VOZ DE LA FRONTERA in Spanish 19 Jul 81 Sec B p 14
[Text] Mexico City, 18 Jul (INFORMEX)--Today, Samuel Alva Leyva, second assistant
attorney general and national coordinator of the permanent campaign against drugs,
concluded the activities of the Fourth National Meeting of Regional Coordinators
of this campaign, which was a total success. Views were exchanged, and new tech-
niques for combating the drug traffic in our country were decided upon.
Mention was made of the usefulness of the pilot plans, which consist of ma.king a
general sweep in certain sections of the mountains, in order to make certain that
not a single drug plantation is left in them.
Priority is being given to tht areas in which poppy and marihuana production and
trafficking are likely, according to Alva Leyva, who reported that, to date, eight
pilot plans have been carried out in the ~~t~a'Ges of Guerrero, Michoacani Oaxaca,
Jalisco, Veracruz, Chiapas and Durango, and in the periphery of the Federal District.
He announced that, this year,eight additional plans will be put into effect in the
states of Chihuahua, Sonora and Chihuahua, and the northwestern s~ction of the
country and the Yucatan peninsula; and gave assurance that the permanent campaign
against drug trafficking would continue in the future, in order to eradicate these
nefarious plants harming the country.
He cited the ma~or cooperation that the Mexican Army has been offering to the Office
of the Attorney General of the Republic (PGR), as well as all the police of Mexico,
including the municipal forces. .
The closing ceremony was attended by Fernando Baeza Melendez, a senior official
from the PGR; Gen Raul Mendiolea, head of the Federal Judicial Police; Federico

PRISON PERSONNEL CLAIMED SELLING DRUGS TO INMATES
Nuevo Laredo EL DIARIO DE NUEVO LAREDO in Spanish 19 Jul 81 Sec A p 2
[Text] Mexico City, 18 Jul (INFORMEX)--With the knowledge and tolerance of the
authorities of the various prisons in Mexico City, intoxicating beverages and all
types of drugs are still being brought into the prisons and sold to the inmates.
The foregoing was learned from the many complaints made by numerous relatives of
the prisoners, as well as by the employees themselves, to the effect that the high-
ranking officials in charge of vigilance bring in the beverages, marihuana, cocaine
and other drugs carried in their vehicles.
According to the charge, this situation is most obvious at the Santa Martha Acatitla
prison, headed by Juan Alberto Antolin Lozano; in which not only is there traffick-
ing in wines, liquor and drugs, but there has been discovered the forging of American
currency within the establistunent, as well as the illegal sale of cocaine which,
rather than rehabilitating the inmate, deteriorates his physical condition further
still.
The same thing holds true for the Southeast and Northeast prisons. In the middle
of this week, a report was made of the chief and deputy group chiefs at the northern
prison, named Amad Molined and Pedro Antonio Castro, who are bringing in crates of
wine to be adulterated and subsequently sold to the inmates.
Two employees of that prison stated that they had on several occasions reported this
criminal beverage and drug trafficking to the general director of prisons and social
rehabilitation center, Juan Mucino Labastida, but that he has not paid any attention
thus far and, on the contrary, this drug trafficking has increased.
Both employees, whose names are not being given for obvious reasons, expressed their
desire to report this serious situation directly to the secretary of government,
inasmuch as the corruption inside the prisons is intolerable.

$800,000 (nearly 20 million pesos) on the black market in the United States, and
arrested a drug trafficker who has an extensive criminal record for crimes against
health.
Almost simultaneously, United States authorities in Douglas, Arizona, ai ~~_ted an
accomplice of Francisco Guzman Tovar, aged 39 (the individual arrested by the police
here), who was identified as Forfirio Rocha Herrera, a resident of Mexicali.

Police, Pablo Garcia Martinez, in which the latter notified him of the results of
a series of investigations ending in the seizure of 675 grams of cocaine and the
capture of the trafficker Guzman Tovar, a resident of No 1995 Churubusco Avenue,
on the former Coahuila communal farm in this Baja California capital.
The spokesman for the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic said that
Guzman Tovar was arrested a block from his residence, as he was driving a green
1975 Mercury car, with Baja California license plates 804-XHB.
Upon being questioned he admitted to them that he was carrying in the vehicle's
spare tire 675 grams of cocaine, which he had brought from Ciudad Obregon, Sonora,
- and which he intended to turn over soon to his accomplice, Porfirio Rocha Herrera,
so that the latter could take it to the United States.
However, Rocha was arrested by the police in Douglas, Arizona, where he will be
arraigned for possession of and trafficking in 2 pounds of cocaine.
According to Reta Diaz, Guzman and Rocha ~~re brothers-in-law, and the former has
a long record of drug trafficking.

The individuals in custody are Joe Kaminscki and Maria de los Angeles Delgado Reyes.
The American had in his possession a bottle containing about S grams of cocaine,
this being a sample for demonstrating the quality and purity of the drug, which they
were attempting to sell. Also confiscated was the sum of nearly $5,000, included
in the indictment, money which is presumed to be a result of previous sales.

Joe Kaminscki and Maria de los Angeles Delgado were arrested by Federal Judicial
Police forces in the bar known as Camelia, in the red-light district of Ciudad
Acuna. The Pole was found to have a bottle containing cocaine in his possession,
and when the health center made its tests, it issued cer~tification attesting to the
fact that it was a gram of the aforementioned drug.
The individuals under arrest, the drug and the slightly over $3,000 and 19,000 pesos
were turned over to the agent of the Federal Public Ministry.
Insufficient Evidence Found
Piedras Negras EL DIARIO DE PIEDRAS NEGRAS in Spanish 17 Jul 81 Sec D p 2
[Text] Yesterday, the agent of the Federal Public Ministry, Xavier Elizondo, granted
the release of the Polish-American Joe Kamniscki, as well as that of his girlfriend
Maria de los Angeles Delgado de Gomez, after deciding that the amount of cocaine
found in the American's possession was only for his personal consumption. The health
center in this town also noted that the drug, that is, the cocaine, consisted of only
1 gram, and not S grams, because it had undergone several "cuts," and the laboratory
workers at the health center determined that the Ameri.can was addicted to this type
of drug.
The defense made by Hugo Valdez Guerra and Guillermo Ramos, who even took steps to
petition for protection from the federal court against beatings, being kept incommu-
nicado and torture, was very skillful; and they succeeded in prompting the federal
prosecutor to decide on the release of the subjects being held, without even remanding
them to the federal ~udge, Canto Lopez.
The two lawyers, possibly the most famous in their field, claimed in the defense of
the cocaine traff icking American that he had been tortured in order to obtain a
statement from him admitting to the crimes included in the charge. The defense
_ succeeded in having the charges dropped.
- This calls to mind a similar case, one involving Floyd Harris Shi~n, also an American,
who was arrested with a grain of heroin, and whom the federal judge at the time there-
fore sentenced to 7 years in prison. In the case which concerns us, the defense action
was stronger and more categorical. In the case of Floyd Harris, although he was not
tortured, he came to make his preliminary statement in a wheelchair, and later was
on crutches.
The Pole Kamniscki was arrested by the Federal Judicial Police in a vice den named
Camelia. This American had in his possession the bottle containing cocaine which,
at first, was claimed to be 5 grams, but later was found to be quite adulterated.
In this case, one observed the fully justified action taken by the federal prosecutor.

POLICE FOIL ATTEMPT TO MARKET PILLS IN PUERTO LIBERTAD
Hermosillo EL IMPARCIAL in Spanish 22 Jul 81 Sec A p 8
- [Text] Two individuals who attempted to open a market for psychotropic pills were
arrested by Federal Judicial Police forces with 6,000 of them.
The two were arrested in different locations. The first one, Javier Mendoza.Cota,
was detained while driving a Datsun, traversing a gap between Caborca and Puerto
Libertad, and traces of psychotropic pills were found in his possession.
Upon being questioned, this subject stateii that, on 11 July of this year, he had
sold for the sum of 21,000 pesos 6,000 of these pills, also known as "whites," to
Francisco Sau Navarro, in Puerto Libertad, Sonora. The latter was to be responsible
for their sale in that location.
The foregoing report was released by the agent of the Federal Public Ministry,
Ernesto Avila Triana, who remarked that the importance of these arrests Yies in
the fact that they precluded the opening of a market for this type of drug which
the individuals in custody intended to start.
He added that, owing to the surveillance carried out by the Federal Judicial Police
in this area, it is known that there is no market for such pills; and evidence of
~ this is the fact that after having had them in his possession for 10 days, Francisco
Sau Navarro had been unable to se1Z them.
He went on to say that, therefore, this case is a success for the Federal Judicial
Police, indicating an eff3.cient permanent battle against the drug traffic.
The first to be arrested, Javier Mendoza Cota, told the Federal Judicial Police
that his residence is currently in Tucson. When arrested, he was in a 1975 Datsun
with state of Arizona plates ABB-369.

r1ARIHUANA PLANTATIONS DESTROYED, TRAFFICKERS CAPTURED
Nuevo Laredo EL DIARIO D~ NUEVO LAREDO in Spanish 29 Jul 81 Sec C p 3
[Text] During their reconnaissance flights over the states situated between Tamauli-
pas, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, the Federal Judicial Police have located countless
marihuana plantations which have been destroyed to prevent the poisoning of young
people who, after having consumed drugs for certain p~riods of time, become genuine
social outcasts.
During the past few days, the federal agents discovered and destroyed several mari-
huana plantations which had been utilized by five individuals from Nuevo Leon, who
were found to have several kilograms of the "fateful" grass in their possession,
as well as a moderate number of weapons and ammunition.
Eleuterio Luna Panto~a, Julian Luna Siller, Everardo Rodriguez Tamez, Fernando Santos
Perales and Orlando Tijerina Sanchez are the five sub~ects who had been engaged in
growing marihuana on the Joyas d2 Anteojitos communal farm in the municipality of
Arramberri, in the state of Nuevo Leon.
During the search raid made by the federal police agents, 15 burlap bags containing
over 70 kilograms of marihuana were seized. At the same time, in a 1974 Volkwagen
vehicle with state of Nuero Leon license plates RLD-356, which these individuals
had been using to transport small amounts of grass, they discovered weapons of
various calibers and a considerable volume of ammunition.
The federal authorities also proceeded to destroy a marihuana plantation measuring
approximately 70 square meters, with a density of eight plants per meter, which was
located on a site known as Puerto Pecedillos, in the municipality of Arramberri.

[Text] Six persons were remanded by the agency of the Federal Public Ministry to the
first district ~udge for crimes against health, in the degree of purchase, sale,
processing and distribution of drugs, and any others that may result. They have
confessed that they were engaged for some time in drug trafficking activities.
~
- The subjects presumed to be guilty are: Jose Guadalupe Quinones Torres, Felipe Angulo
Torres, Enrique Quinones Torres, Jose Asencion Arau~o Hernandez, alias "Victor",
Jesus Salvador Trujillo Rodriguez and Alma Rosa Marquez Zazueta, alias "Rossy",
from whom the Federal Judicial Police confiscated 1 kilogram and 320 grams of mari-
huana seed, 554 grams of opium gum and 54 grams of morphine, as well as primitive
utensils which had been used in the clandestine laboratory run by these individuals.
The arrest made by the forces under orders from the second commander of the Federal
Judicial Police, Manuel Espindola Martinez, took place in the Lombardo Toledano
development in this capital town, and those implicated had the laboratory at the
E1 Diez camp in this central municipality.
The success of the investigation was due to the speed with which the agents from the
O~fice of the Attorney General of the Republic acted. In their report, they reveal
that the woman who was arrested was a professional prostitute, and was engaged in
both the distribution and transportation of the drugs, as we11 as the procurement
of contacts for the purchase of drugs which were to be processed later.

LARGE AMOUNT OF MARIHUANA SEIZED FROM TRAFFICKERS �
Ciudad Juarez EL FRONTERIZO in Spanish 10 Jul 81 Sec B p 2
[Text] Yesterday, agents of the Federal Judicial Police seized a ton and a half of
. marihuana from the notorious criminal, Daniel Contreras Villanueva, alias "E1 Bonny~'.
on a communal farm near the settlement of Villa Ahumada.
Several agents under orders from the regional commander, Carlos Gabriel Santillanez
Ramos, first made a se~zure yesterday of 500 kilograms of marihuana in some adobe
walls located at kilometer 22 0~ the Pan-American Highway, arresting Rene Camarena
Malnar, "Bonny's" accomplice, who admitted that most of the grass shipment was stored
on the Villa Ahumada communal farm, near the settlement of the same name.
Continuing the investigation, the Federal Judicial Police agents actually discovered
on the aforementioned communal farm 1,000 more kilograms of the harmful grass, all
owned by Contreras Villanueva. It was taken from there to this border in two
vehicles which they commandeered, namely, a 1960 Ford truck and a 1980 pickup type
truck. ~
On the same communal farm, the drug trafficker nicknamed "E1 Bonny" was arrested,
and confessed that the marihuana was his, and that he had purchased it in the states
of Oaxaca and Veracruz, from some individuals who acted as his contact and with
whom he had been operating for several years.
It was also learned that a 9 millimeter caliber pistol was confiscated from "Bonny's "
accomplice, Camarena Malnar, who did not have time to use it whan he was apprehended
by the Federal Police agents.
T~ao other persons have also apparently been arrested, but their names were not given
so as not to interfere with the investigations; but they would appear to be the
contacts in Oaxaca and Veracruz whom "E1 Bonny" mentioned.
Today, this pair of drug traffickers will be turned over to the Federal Public Ministry
where "Bonny" will be charged with some crimes committed previously, including in
particular the death of a young mna.

FOUR TRAFFICKERS RELEASED--Four federal prisoners who were convicted and sentenced
for having trafficked in drugs recovered their freedom during the past few days,
some because of having served their sentences and another because he received pre-
release benefits. Prominent among them is the drug trafficker Pablo Vazquez Flores,
alias "E1 Coreano," who, as may be recalled, succeeded in escaping from the La
Loma prison on 1 December 1976, but was recaptured 10 days later. This individual
managed to obtain from the General Directorate of Coordinated Crime Prevention and
Social Rehabilitation Services the pre-release benefits in the form of daily egress
with nighttime confinement. On the basis of a trial which was held in the second
district court, he was sentenced to 8 years in prison and given a fine of 10,000
pesos. It was also reported that Calixto Quirino Juarez, who entered La Loma on
26 November 1975, having been sentenced to 8 years and 6 months in prison, regained
nis freedom when that sentence was considered to have been served. Jorge Perez
Cardona, who entered jail on 26 July 1977 with a 7 year sentence, was freed upon
the completion of that sentence. Finally, it was announced that Manuel Diaz
Caballero, sentenced to 6 years and 6 months in prison, obtained pre-release bene-

PILL PUSHERS ARRESTED--Mexicali--On Saturday afternoon, municipal police agents
succeeded in arresting four individuals who were members of a criminal gang supply-
ing toxic pills to the youths who gather every day in Heroes de Chapultepec Park,
adjoining the United States border. A total of 730 psychotropic pills of various
types was seized from them. The individuals under arrest are Ruben Lopez Lopez,
Jose Jimenez Ruiz, Raul~Valdez and Rodrigo ~alas Flores, aged 18, 17, 24 and 17
years, respectively; all of whom are reside~ts of this capital. A repor~t sent by
the municipal police to the public ministry placing the four subjects in custody
at the latter's disposal states that they were caught by agents from that entity
while distributing drugs among the young addicts who congregate in that park, locat-
ed a few meters from the borderline with the United States. Except for Rodrigo
Salas Flores, who was in normal condition, all the others were given a medical
examination, the results of which showed that they were drugged with depressant
pills affecting the nervous system. From all of them the police collected 730
pills of different kinds, as well as a portable radio and other items the origin
of which will also be investigated. This is, in fact the heaviest blow dealt by
the local police to the drug distributors who have been meeting in that location
for the past several years. [TextJ [Mexicali LA VOZ DE LA FRONTERA in Spanish

COCAINE SMUGGLER CAUGHT--Mexico City, 7 Jul (INFORMEX)--This morning, at the Mexico
City International Airport, the Federal Judicial Police arrested the Mexican drug
trafficker Juana Dominguez Lozada, and confiscated from her nearly a kilogram of
pure cocaine worth S million pesos. The woman was arrested when she left flight
- 646 of the LACSA airline arriving from Costa Rica, where she claimed to have pur-
chased the drug for subsequent distribution in this capital to addicts, particularly
in red-light district nightclubs. She was carrying the drug in small plastic bags
attached to her underwear. The drug trafficker explained that she had arrived in
this capital on other occasions carrying similar amounts of cocaine, but managed to
evade the polica vigilance on all of them. The judicial police succeeded in catch-
ing this woman after the dog Fritz detected the drug during the inspection. Today,
Dominguez Lozada was placed at the disposal of the General Directorate of Prelimi-
nary Investigations of the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic, and she
will later be transferred to the sixth penal court in which she will be tried.

TRAFFICKING RING CAPTURED--Mexico City, 15 Jul (INFORMEX)--A well organized ring
of drug traffickers and car thieves was captured in Osxaca. Near Tuxtepec, Oaxaca,
over half a ton of marihuana was seized, and those responsible for it, namely,
Aristeo Alonso Utrera, Jorge Agustin del Valle Cortes and Adan Cristobal Teodoro,
were captured. The first-named of the group was caught at Rio Lalana, on the
Palomares-Tuxtepec highway, in a 1975 Ford pickup truck without license plates,
which was also carrying 200 kilograms of marihuana. After this, the judicial police
managed to locate a machine-shop in Tuxtepec, owned by Wilfrido Aguirre Hondal, an
accomplice of the others, and five small trucks, three automobiles and a Ford pick-
up truck were found on the site. In the investigation, it was discovered that all
these vehicles had been purchased by those persons without the respective documen-
tation; and hence the possibility of their having stolen them has not been prec~.uded.
The individuals in custody, the marihuana and the vehicles were turned over to the
Federal Public Ministry in Oaxaca, where they will be assigned to the pertinent
judge. [Text] [Mexicali LA VOZ DE LA FRONTERA in Spanish 16 Jul 81 Sec B p 7] 2909
YACHT WITH MARIHUANA DISCOVERED--Mexico City, 16 Jul (NOTIMEX)--An American luxury
yacht, the "Alexandria," loaded with over a ton of marihuana, bound for the port
of Miami, Florida, ran aground on the Mexican coast and was discovered by the
police. In Chetumal, Quintana Roo, the crew members Edward Myers Millard and
Bruce Boatryght ~aere apprehended. Both attempted to obtain "underwater" aid to
free their boat which was located near the Xkabex beaches from the shoals. The
federal agents made a visual search inside the vessel, finding 91 plastic and 15
burlap bags containing 1 ton and 60 kilograms of Colombian marihuana, known as
"lamb's tail" and "red hair." The yacht, with a hold in its lower section, is of
American registry. The crew may possibly have made a mistake and deviated from
its course from Colombia to Florida, running aground c,n the shores of Quintana Roo.
The traffickers confessed to having procured the drug from well-known Colombian
distributors, and said that they intended to transfer it, for sale at high prices,
to Galveston and Miami, in the United States. [Text] [Piedras Negras EL DIARIO DE

MYSTERIOUS NARCOTIC SUBSTANCE BLAMED FOR DEA'THS
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 7 Aug 81 p 7
_ ~Text~ Nineteen people were arrested yesterday in connection with the riot
patrol's sear:h for a mysterious substance that has taken the lives of six Copen-
hagen drug addicts and one in Arhus in recent weeks.
On one of those detained police found heroin in a 50 percent concentration. In
an apartment on Istedgade 16 people were arrested and a substance was found that
preliminary study showed to be a mfxture of heroin and cocaine.
Wednesday morning Dr. Johannes Hagelsten, chief physician in the narcotics section
of Municipal Hospital, warned that five people had been brought in unconscious as ~
a result of narcotics. 'I~ao of them died. Later that day police found 16-year-old
Pia dead in a Vesterbro apartment and in the restroom of a department store in
Arhus a young woman was found dead with a hypodermic needle in her hand. The
weekend before six people were brought in to Municipal Hospital with narcotics
poisoning. Three of them died later.
Members of the riot patrol have been warning Copenhagen addicts against the new
d- ~~g in the last few days.
Two men were jailed yesterday after a closed court hearing in connection with the
mysterious substance. One is thought to have a direct connzi:tion with Pia's
death.
The chief of the riot patrol, Police Commissioner Ove Nielsen, told BERLINGSKE
TIDENDE that after the many fatalities a quantity of 50 percent heroin had been
found. The heroin normally sold varies between 3 and 10 percent. Recently the
heroin available in Copenhagen has been very thin. If 50 percent heroin has now
hit the market a normal "fix" can be a fatal overdose.

COPENHAGEN AIRPORT CUSTOMS SEIZE RECORD COCAINE HAUL

. [Article by Mogens Auning and Hans Moller]
[Text~ 7'~ie biggest attempted cocaine smuggling affair in Europe to date was
uncovered "r,y customs agents at Kastrup Airport. This was a delivery of around
6 kg with a street value of roughly 20 million kroner.
The find was made on a woman p~assenger, a 29-year-old office worker from Chile
aLid it was discovered purely by chance. A routine spot check of an attractive,
well-dressed wotnan.
The discovery was made Sunday afternoon as passengers from a flight from London
went through customs. In a routine check the customs mE� asked to see the Ch.ilean
woman's luggage, two suitcases. A search showed both suitcases had false bottoms.
The police were called in and when the false bottoms were cut open the cocaine
came to light.
A closer check of the woman showed that she had two passports and was equipped with
a great many airplane tickets.
The price of cocaine hovers around 1000 kroner per gram in the "import branch."
_ For dealers the price is thus around 6 million kroner. But this price does not
apply when the drug is sold on the street since profits are then added amounting
to more than several hundred percent.
At the moment this drug is very popular among the so-called Copenhagen "jet set."
The Copenhagen narcotics police would not conunent on the seizure. They would con-
firm only that a person had been jailed after a preliminary examination behind
closed doors.

POLICE RECAPTURE ESCAPED NARCOTICS SMUGGLER
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 22 Jul 81 p 2
[Article by Bent Bak Andersen]
[Text] After having been free for almnst 3 years, Danish narcotics dealer Jan
Vandal, 33, is once more in a Danish prison. During his flight he amassed a for-
tune of 830,000 kroner in a Swiss bank.
Jan Vandal was seized by Swiss authorities on 16 May of this year bearing a false
passport. A check of his fingerprints quickly revealed that this was the escaped
narcotics dealer who failed to return in 1978 after an outside leave from the
penal institution in Vridsloselille.
When the 33-year-old man--former substitute teacher and rug merchant, sentenced
earlier for dealing in hashish--failed to return he had only a few months lef t to
serve of a sentence of 5 years imprisonment for narcotics dealing.
While in custody in 1975 and during the first months he served of the 5-year
sentence, Jan Vandal studied medicine in his prison cell. Later--in April 1978--
he was given leave so he could hear medical lectures at Copenhagen University.
On 15 June 1978 Vandal did not return to his cell in Vridslose and since then he
has been on the wanted list all over the world via lnterpol until he was arrested
in Switzerland.
After receiving a suspended sentence for falsifying documents in Switzerland Jan
- Vandal was handed over to continue serving his sentence in Denmark in the middle
of this month. There are also a few charges on violating the narcotics laws
which the narcotics police would like to talk to him about.
- Police can only speculate what the narcotics dealer was doing in the 3 years he
was out of jail but 830,000 kroner in Jan Vandal's name are deposited in a Swiss
bank account. Danish police authorities are now trying to get this~money turned
over but there are several problems. Jan Vandal is one of the group of young
people who in the mid-1960's smuggled in large amounts of hashish, specifically
intended for the so-called "whiskey belt" outside Copenhagen. He conducted the
smuggling operations under cover of rug imports but there were never any receipts_
for rug sales.

A year ago things almost went wrong for Jan Vandal. He was detained by West
German police in Munich along with his wife Ritva but th2 West German police only
- had a wanted notice out for Ritva who was also in possession of a small amount of
narcotics. Jan Vandal was allowed to leave and remained free another year before
the trap closed in on him.
For the time being the 33-year-old narcotics dealer has been placed in an isola-
tion cell until 12 August.

NARCOTICS POLICE URGE ACTION TO CHECK NARCOTICS USID
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 8 Aug 81 p 3
~Article by Bent Bak Andersen]
[Text] The Copenhagen riot patrol is now asking higher police authorities to
authorize money for sending in samples of the narcotics seized every day from
dealers and addicts at least once a week to the Institute of Forensic Medicine.
The proposal was made because of the many recent deaths among drug addicts in
_ Copenhagen and Arhus. Preliminary investigations show that the victims took
heroin in concentrations of 50 percent whereas they normally inject heroin with
concentrations between 3 and 10 percent. The shock given the body by the high
concentrations paralyzes the breathing system, among other things, and can be
lethal to less-adept addicts.
"The reason why we are recommending a weekly at~alysis of the various drugs we
confiscate every day is that we could then form a picture of how high the drug
concentrations are and thus of how dangerous they are. If this helps us to save
just one human life a lot will have been accomplished and we also hope we can
warn drug addicts in good time before they buy and inject the drugs," said Police
Commissioner Ove Nielsen of the riot patrol.
Preliminary investigations of the drugs that killed several addicts showed them
to be 50 percent pure heroin while other batches resembled cinnamon. If the pure
heroin is injected into the veins in the same quantity as drug addicts normally
inject the central nervous system of the victim is paralyzed and in most cases
the addict dies. Forensic medical researchers coLid not say offhand why the
brown heroin caused death but preliminary analyses indicated.it could be so ,
poorly refined that it contains foreign particles that could cause death through
poisoning or paralysis.
If a drug addict consumes an overdose of cocaine, which is a mental and physical
upper, the breat'hing system is paralyzed and death occurs quickly.
Nothing at the moment suggests that any of the dead narcotics addicts had con- ,
sumed a mixture of heroin and cocaine, a report that was widely circulated.

_ The police now think they have come a good bit of the way toward clearing up the
many deaths among drug addicts. Yesterday night riot police arrested a Danish
woman with 25 grams of highly concentrated heroin on her. Nornially this heroin
would have to be diluted 10 to 1 before injection. The police also detained a
Dutch citizen thought to be in close contact with the Danish woman who may have
helped her obtain the drug. Police found 1 gram of the polluted brown heroin on
- him. Both had a preliminary court hearing late in the day, charged under the
strict narcotics paragraph in the Penal Code.

MORE SEVERE DRUG DEALING PENALTIES--Bonn. The ~undesrat voted yesterday for the new
drug law, passed unanimously by the Bundestag at the end of May, which is to intensify
the fight against drugs. The law goes into effect on 1 January 1982; its intention
is to punish drug crimes more severely and to get more drug-addicted criminals to
participate in social-therapau~ic measures. In the future especially, heavier cases
of drug dealing will carry a maximum sentence of 10 years. The maximum sentence for
simple drug dealing.will be increased from 3 to 4 years. Felons who are instrumental
in solving crimes or preventing further activities can expect their sentence to be
shortened or dropped. If a drug addicted felon does not have more than 2 years of
prison and if he can prove that he is already in drug therapy, his sentence would
not have to be served fully. Participation in therapy at an institution recognized
by the state can count toward the sentence; the rest of the sentence can be served
on probation. [Text] [West Berlin DER TAGESSPIEGEL in German 27 German 81 p 6]

to a questionnaire of the CDU/CSU representative Manfred Langner. A study by Prof
A. Kreuzer (Giessen), commissioned by the Federal Government, confirme~ this quantity,
said Hartkopf. The basis for this computation was the number of heroin addicts with
an average daily dose of 100 mg of heroin; times of voluntary or involuntary
withdrawal and insufficient supply were taken into account. The so-called final
consumption amount is estimated at DM 650 to 900 million. This number was computed
on the basis of the average price of heroin offered on the street--about DM 300
per gram. Last year 267 kg of heroin were secured--9 to 12 percent of the estimated
- amount that is consumed in the FRG. [Text] [Frankfurt/Main FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE

"There is a crying shortage of drugs on the market," stated the police in explain-

The construction worker in question stole several thousand various types of tran-

He managed to consume several of the pills before he was apprehended. The police
caught the thief red-handed and also confiscated all the pills he had managed
to steal.

Karasi, a Turkish farmer; his 37-year-old son Ismet Touyouzoul, a laborer

to police saurce information the three members of the gang were in a private
passenger car with German plates transporting the above quantity of heroin
well hidden in the spare tire. They plar~ned to sell it in Stuttgart for
DM50,000 (1.2 million drachmas). The vehicle with the Turks was stopped by
police agents at the Kipon customs checkpoint after it had entered our
country. But a search failed to turn up the heroin. Still, the customs
agents were suspicious and they had data that led them to contact the police
departments of Komotini and Zanthi to follow the car. En route to Zanthi there
were no indications of anything suspicious. Outside of Zanthi, however,
near Varamaika, there was a sl.ip-up. Touyouzoul opened up the trunk and
checked the spare time. This made the police tailing the car suspicious and
they made them stop for a fresh search, Sure enough, on opening the inner
tube of the spare tire they discovered the heroin. The occupants of the
vehicle were brought before th~ D.A. If marketed in Greece the same amount
of heroin would be valued at more than 10 million drachmas. [Text] [Athens

(Text) Bari, southern Italy, 26 Aug (ANSA)--The 33 quintals (over 36 tons) of hashish
seized Tuesday aboard tlie Lebanese motor vessel, Lucas Sky, moored in this Adriatic
port city, were earmarked for the Dutch, West German and French markets, port
authorities reported today. They also disclosed that along with the huge cargo of
hashish, one hundred liters of hashish oil was found by customs police searching the
holds of the ship.
The value of the illegal cargo was put at some 25 million dollars and investigators
speculated that these earnings would have been used to pay for weapons for a
European terrorist organization.
Police and magistrates here were reportedly convinced that the Lucas Sky, sailing under
another name, was the ship which unloaded the Soviet-made rocket launchers at another
Adriatic port two years ago found in the possession of a leader of the ultra-lef~wing
Autonomia Operaia (Workers' Autonomy), Daniele Pifano.
According to the initial investigation into the movementa of the ahip, the Lucas Sky
developed motor trouble in the Otranto Channel, between Italy and Albania, and the captain
abandoned ship aboard a lifeboat after instructing the Italian first mate to radio for a
tug to tow the vessel to the port of Bari.
Earlier this week, customs police turned up a number of irregularities including a Spanish
flag flown by the vessel of Lebanese registry when the ship was underway, and incomplete
identification documents for.the six members of the crew. Police confirmed today that
these crewmen were under arrest and identified them as Moussa Malko Moussa, 25 years old,
and two more Lebanese nationals, 31 year-old Youssef Hanna Fouad and 24-year-old Georges
Boutros Sanir, Turkish national Jellou Daoud, 55, and two Italians, Diego Superina, 24,
and Giuseppe Savino, 32.
The thirty-three quintals of hashish were wrapped in waterproof packages and were apparently
prepared for shipment so that the packages could be tossed into the sea, if the need aroae,
and later recovered.

PAKISTANI SHIP DUI~ED HASHISH--The captain of the Pakistani gra3~i carrier Makran,
which arrived in Stavanger, Tuesday, dimmped 144 kilograms of hashish overboard
before the ship arrived in the Norwegian oil port directly from Karachi ~n Pakistan,
says acting customs district chief Olav Skaden in Stavanger to NTB. The hashish
would have had a value of an estimated 15 million kroner in street sales in Norway,
and it is possible that more hashish is hidden aboard the vessel. Skaden states
that the captain himself reported the dumping of the l.arge amount of hashish when
customs inspectors boarded the vessel Tuesday, and that there is no reason to doubt
the captain's word. The captain has said that af ter the ship left Rarachi he
received a tip to the effect that large amounts of hashish might be hidden aboard,
and that together with the ship's other officers he ~nade two searches of the vessel.
At first, 109 kilograms of hashish were found under a locker in the crew mess.
This was dimmped as the ship passed Aden in the Red Sza. An additional 35 kilograms
- was found when the ship entered the English Channel. This hashish, as well, was
dimmped overboard. According to what NTB has lea.rned, the entire crew was simmmond
on de~k and witnessed the hashish being dumped. This wa~ probably a bitter pill
to swallow for those in the crew involved in the smuggling attempt. According to
the captain the reason for the d~ping was that he did not feel safe with hashish
worth that much aboard the ship. [Text] [Oslo ~FTENPOSTEN in Norwegian 6 Aug 81
