O�ficials of Modelo prison arrested a man named ~1ugo Antonio Villasmil,
Who worked there as guard, as he was trying to smug~le in a quantity of '
drugs in a small gas carboy of the type used in ~ewelry shops.
i
This information, issued by Comnissioner Leopoldo Yerena Wiebe, chief of ~
the Narcotics Bureau of the Judicial Technical Police [PTJ~, states that, i
when Modelo prison guard Villasmil arrived at the prison with the small '
carboy, members of the National Guard, vho Were Waiting at the gate, asked
him where he was taking that container. When he told them he was taking
it to the kitchen, they became suspicious, for, in addition to its being
very small, gas comes directly from the source in the kitchen.

KUWAIT
CA~ AMgASSAUOR'S SON ARR~STED ~OR b1tUG ~RAFFICKING
Kuwait AL-RA'1' AL-'AMM ~.n Arabic 5 Apr 19 p 2
/T~xt/ The embaesador of the Central African Empire in Ca3ro was able to
slip out of the country (Kuwair) for ehe Ch~rd Cime, leaving large amounta
df glcohdlic beverages and druga behind him. This eime, the ambassador,
whnse nnme in ~rench is ~'rancois Sylveatre, wag able to flee after bringing
into the country tens of gallona of a drug product which is completely new
on the world drug market, "oil of hashish." ICs value was estimated aC mnre
Chan 7,000 KuwaiCi Dinars. On a previous entry, the ambaseador had brought
' in more than a millinn tablets of Hallucinogens, then he reCurned and broughC
back with him Chree large traveling bags containing u large number of bottlea
� of whiskey of various kinds. However, each time the ambassador left thio
sruff in the airport and returned from whence he came.
This time, however, the Kuwaiti Bureau of Criminal inveatigation, ~:nder the
leadership of its director general Colonel Muhammed Ahmed A1-Qabnadi and in
cooperation with Interpol, had been following the movement of the ~mbassad~r
until the right moment came in which the bureau's men could seize the
ambassador's son, Sanati Francois, member of a band which includes Farid M.
(Jordanian), Akram 'A. (Jordanian) and 'A~mi M. (Egyptian). The members of
this band have been distributing hashish oil in Kuwait.
IC has become clear, as a result of the pr.eliminary investigations, that the
three primary suspects were working in government establishments, and wcre
using their work as a cover for their drug operations. As for the son af
the Central African Empire's ambassador, it is clear that he was delegated
to collect the money from the distribution of the drugs. As for the manner
in which the ambassador slipped ~way from the face of ~ustice, the authorities
are studying the problem, since, in each case, he was relying on his diplomatic
immunity to implement his plans which went well beyond the sphere of diplomatic
recogniCion.

Stockholm SVENSKA DAGBLADET in Swedish 30 Mar 79 p l3 ;
[Text] Young people on drugs commit moet of the
thefts in SCockholm. Goods valued at more than ~
200 million kronor are sColen each year in Stock- i
holm alone, according to an investigation by !
criminologist Leif Persson a couple of years ago. ;
"A group of about 1,000 persons is responsible for all the ma3or home
burglaries in SCockholm," he told SVENSKA DAGBLADET. '
A small share of the stolen goods is sold directly on Che streets of ~
Stockholm. Leif Persson believes these sales amount to 10 million kro- ;
nor. It is usually "common" citizens who fa11 for the Cemptation of '
purchasing goods at one-fourth of their store value. '
Commissioner Gunnar B~orklund with the burglary division of Stockholm ;
Police Department: '
i
"It also happens Chat people order goods from drug users, who later .
steal these items from a warehouse or a store." . ~
'The "crooked dealer" buys the larger share of the stolen goods. It is '
he who gets the biggest share of the profits; the drug user, who takes ~
the greatest risk, gets the least. ~
i
The thief gets about 500 kronor for a new color TV or a stereo from the ~
dealer, who in turn sells it to someone else. It is diff icu1C to ~sti-
mate how many of these dealers operate in Stockholm. That is primarily
due to two things:
A thief, who is caught, is not interested in revealing to whom he sold
the stolen goods. He relies on a dependable dealer td get money.for� ~ ;
~ narcotics.

[Article by Barbro Joberger: "Government Attacks Drug Clinics"] ~
[Text] The goverrnnent now wants bo cut off aid Co .
~ drug clinics. Beginning in 1980 the atiate will � i
withdraw its aid to municipal drug clinics. , ~
I
The cut comes just one year following the government's big push to estab- i
lish new drug clinics. It has been proven that the results were not what i
Parliament had hoped they would be. ~
~
Tn big city areas only scattered clinics have been established. In . !
Goteborg there has even been a reduction in drug clinics.
"Politicians have betrayed us," said Lisbet Palmgren, lecturing physician
on the issue of drug clinics. .
~
Beginning 1 January 1980 special state aid to established drug clinics I
will be terminated. State aid now pays for 75 percent of the operating ;
i
cosEs. ~ '
i
I
This proposal is included in the municipal economic bill, which the
government recently submitted. But the idea did not originate with Che ~
municipalitie;~, but directly with the state government.
The anticipated savings of 192 million kronor, which include withdrawal ~
of sCate aid to alcohol clinics also, wi11 be returned Co the municipal-
ities by v3.rtue of the Cax equalization system. .
Thus, money for drug clinics will no longer be "earmarked;" it will
become part of the general municipal funds~ Municipalities w311 thus
have the option to build indoor swimming pools, ice hockey rinks or
other projects, which may be more popular than spending money on drug ~
addiction ana other abases. ,

The proposal meane a complete change of attiCude on Che parC of Che
governmenC toward drug clin~ics. Groupa that work witih ~rug addicts
ca11 it "a deathblow to drug clinics."
Municipal funda can be used for any purpose. "Knowing thaC municipal-
ities all along the 13.ne have a tendency to give low prioriCy to addic-
Cion of any kind makes this proposal especially alarming," gaid Jakob
Lindberg, director of Che DepartmenC of Social Services.
"To withdraw atate aid in Chis manner is abaolutely fatal."
. The Liberal Party govermnent's wi~hdrawal of state aid tio drug clinics
comes 1 year following.the former government's push to establiah more
clinics. In the spring of 1978, a speargroup for the narcotics issue,
led by Gerhard Larsson, submitted a nine-point program. The emphasis of .
the program wae to strengthen Che already established drug clinics.
Through its work the group had found that money was especially needed
in connection with long-term rehabil3tation, in treatment homes and family
clinica.
At that time treatment homes could accommodaCe 180 addicts. The group
suggested expansions in order to facilitate at least 160 more. ,
Tamily clinics were able to accommodate 130 addicts and the group wanted
to provide room for at least 130, preferably 200 more addicts.
The speargroup had investi~ated the situation thoroughly and it did not ;
propose any more than what the municipalities could realistically imple-
ment before 1 July~1980. The cost of the proposed program was 32 million �
kronor. Parliament approved the program in June last year.
In spite of careful planning in cooperation with city and county cuuncils,
progress has been rather dismal after almost 1 year.
Six accommodations have been added jn Stockholm.
Goteborg has added none. Instead, 15 accommodations have been terminated
at Lillhagen hospital.
There have been no additions in Malmo.
In medium-sized municipalities plans have proceeded somewhat like the
speargroup had anticipated. Idealistic organizaCions have also accepCed
some of the responsibility. The Hassela collective in Halsingland has '
provided 12 new accommodations. RFMA, which operates Vallmotorp, has
;~rov3.ded 25 new accommodations at Hemgard.

In Goteborg, city council member Bengt Larsson (Social Democrat) said:

INVESTIGATION OF DRUGS THEFT FROM POLICE VAULT CONTINUES ~
Stockholm DAGENS NYHETER in Swedish 12 Apr 79 p 3
'[Article by Leif Dahlin: "Huddinge Drug Thief Sought by Police"]
[TexC] Some 40 policemen, office personnel and
. sCation employees have been questioned in connec-
tion~with the investigation of the sensational ~
nar.cotics Cheft at the Huddinge:police station ~
som~ time ago. We have no leads in the case in

for a long time," said one of the investigators,
Commissioner Gosta Magnusson with the State Poli~e
Department's theft division. . .
A spokesman for Huddinge Police Department, who is in close contacC with
the local narcotics squad, said that irritation is grawing within the .
squad each day. It is almost a month now since the imparCial invesCiga-
tive commission started its work. Members of the local narcotics squad
f ully understand that investigations must proceed quietly and methodically
in order to find a suspect. But, according to the spokesman, the squad
does not wanC to wait indefinitely, but will simply start its own
investigation. .
- It was at the end of last year that Huddinge police discovered thati a
confiscated amount of amphetamine and heroin had been stolen frotn a
vault stored in a strong-room at the police,station. A bag containing
1 kilogram amphetamine was missing and, when they later checked the , I
cantents more closely, they found that two bags of heroin had been re-
placed with flour and sugar and that the remaining bag of amphetamine !
contained 1/2-kilogram heroi~. and 1/2-kilogram sugar.
Sma11 Group . .
Since it was ascertained that only a small group of people had access
to the strong-room key and the vault combination, it was considered most
likely that the culprit would be 1 of the 20 policemen who make up the 1
narcotics squad. .

"The squad is becoming increasingly 3mpatier~t. We have been an~ continue
to be A cohesive unit an4, as time goes by, I am more and more inclined
to think Chat the narcotics thief should be aought outside the squad,"
said one of iCs members.
"It would surprise me if oa.le of my colleagues could 'hide behind a mask ~
this long.' We have met practically every day, have discussed and gone
Chrough thia matCe.r as a 3roup and between us as individual members.
"One specula~ion, which is as good as any other, is Chat anyone connected
with the police station--i.e., anyone among 200 to 300 persons--could
have stolen the narcotics. Most of them know that we keep the narcoCics
in~ a strong-room. If you do not have the right key to get into the dif- ' .
ferent officea, you cam simply get the master key from the main of�ice.
They master key hangs on a nail there and I have borrowed it on several
occasions myself without being asked any questions. On occasion, Chey
did not even see you taking the key.
"AfCer getting into the office in question, Che sCrong-room key can be
found hidden behind the corner of a table and Che vault combination is
written on a piece of paper. A policeman working in another department
could have figured out how to do this or he could have discovered it by
chance."
According Co Commissioner Magnusson, who serves on the investigative ~
commission~, a number of the persons quesCioned are no longer on "the `
list of suspects." A technical investigation has b een made of all the
available maCerials, except for fingerprints on the plastic baga.
Fingerprints
"A number of fingerprints have been taken. But since most of them should
be obtained legally, that part of the investigation has also heen t~ne-
consuming."
Commissioner Olle Rispling with the technical d3vision of Stockholm
Police Department:
"We know from experience that it is difficult to trace fingerprints on
materials like these. A lot of work remains to be done."
The investigative co~nission and Huddinge police are getting a lot of ,
tips from the public. Most of them have been discredited directly.
Investigators are also getting inside tips from the police in~Huddinge
and other districts.
At least s~x policemen have been involved in the actual transportation
- of narcotics between Huddinge police station and Sweden's Technical
- Crime Laboratory (SKL) In Linkoping. ~ro crimes may be linked to a
confiscated amount of drugs that was sent to SKL in 1976. The labora-
tory reported that the 10 bags of heroin and 2 bags of amphetamine con-
tained pure, f3rst-class goods. T;ao policemen came to pick up these
