most lucrative occupation of a Limburg-based underwor.lcs at 4he beginning of

continued to ha~ass wi~Ch p;.otests the Dutch policy which had not placed am-
phetamine on the forbidden list.
Meanwhile these typ~s oL' products have been incl~ded in tha~ list and con-
sequently the ki.ngdom of, a.mangst others, the Limburg drug king P. and his
court has been undermined by the prospect and meCing oi.i~ c~f very heavy
penalties. But the Dutch courts, including the supreme court, still have
to deal with the inheritance from that period. ~

One of the cases taking place in this world of decepta.on and intimida-
tion which came up before the Arnhem cot:rt yesterday, is the De F. case.
Did De F., suspected of smuggling an amphetamine product to the Netherlands
via his business lacated in Bentheim (F~tG), become the vzctim of a crafty
web of lies spun from opportunistic motives by a meanwhzle deceased amphe-
tamine deale~r,--- another P. or did he try at the time to look for sub-
stantia7. earniiigs in the Nnphetamine trade?

P
the court of appeal in 's-Hertogenbosch'had come to a judgment against De F.
which ultimately had led to a sentence o� 2 years. ,A,fLer. a few judicial
maneuvers, the supreme court decided at the beginning of this year to re-
view the 's-Hertogenbosch sentence, after this highest court of justice it-
` self had heard new wi.tnesses, an unusual procedure.

The supreme court stated amongst other thingss "The f.a.cts and circumstances
included in the statements and documents rendered do not seem to be con-
sistent with the earlier reported statement of groof (of the 's-Her togen-
bosch court --editor), so from that a serious suspicion may be derived that
if they had been known to the court, the investigation of the case would
have led to the acquittal of the accused."
Thus the Arnhem court, chaired by Mr J. Gijsman, yesterday had to hear the
case again, whereby it was confronted with witnesses who either swallowed
earlier statements, oi had not been heard yet. In any event, that which
was prod.uced by both categories appeared to be extremel3r relieving to De F.,
whose lif.e seemed to have been thoroughly affected by alternate periods of _
imprisonment and interruption of the sentence, all according to his
juridical position.
In official reports, according to statements of witnesses, thQre could have
been a matter of mistaken identity De F. looks a lot like the son of the
amphetamine dealer P. mentioned above. A Swedish witness, who has been
- living in the Netherlands for 7 years and who was closely involved in the
amphetamine trade at the time, told that in those days he had never heard
De F.'s name mentioned as a supplier.
At the end of the day's session Attorney General M. L. de Haas concluded
that not a single wedge had been driven into the structure of proof which
the court in 's-Hertogenbosch had constructed at the timee
He found that the ~entence of the court in 's-Hertogenbosch 2 years for
De F. ought to be sustained. ~
'False Documents' ,
- Kr De F.'s attorney, Mr L. Hamer, called de De F. case "the end,of a
criminal proceedings-tragedy of exceptional scope." The production of
false documents by interested parties and the toughness dictat.ed by the
diligence of the police and the public administration in Maastricht to make
an end to the amphetamine trade, had obscured insight into "a number of ob-
vious improbabilities" in the trial. against his clienta

INTERNATIONAL DRUG RING DISCOVERED, LEADER ARRESTEI? ~
Lisbon DIARIO DE NOTICIAS in Portuguese 1 Nov 79 p 1~
[Text] The dismatl~ng of a drug traffickers ring, culnir,.at:~ng in the
capture of one of its main leaders, which happens very s~l:lom, Was achieved
now by the Judicial Polic~. This is an event which g:~~~s greater merit
to their work carri~:d out for several weeks in Lisbon and iz various points
of the country. Th~: seizure of r~arihuana and hashish os_I for a total vaiue
of over 8,000 contos should also be stressed.
This is the third drug traffickers ring which has been nsutralized by the
PJ [Judicial Police] in 4 months. The ring was made up of nine individuals,
some young, others not so young. 'I~ao of them are xepearers in this type
: of crime. All of them are Portuguese nationals, althoL~g~ti. two of them were
born in Mozambique. Their names have not been made public. All the arrests
have been approved by criminal judges and the individuals are being held
without bail.
Because of the nature of the charges, the possible senten.ces may range
from 2 to 8 years in ihe penitentiary. ~
The "~;rain" of the ring is an individual who has beexz liviY~g in South
Africa~~:for many y~ars residing in Johannesburg where ~wo of his main ac-
complices are also established and live. To their occupation as business-
men tl7ey added that of "couriers" of the ring. They were the ones who
brought to Lisbon the "plants" (marihuana) which the gang imported from
Swaziland. The drug was transported in suitcases with false bottoms.
' In their role as businessmen the two individuals justified as business
their constant flights.between P~rtugal and South Africa.
- Once in Lisbon, the drug was sent to "agencies" of the organization in
Viana do Castelo, Pc~rto, Tondela, Torr~s Vedras, Cruz de Pau, Sines and
Port;imao, and also in Alges, and in the capital, in Ba.i~~ro da Charneca
do Lumiar from where the drugs were sent to their marketing circuit
supplying retailers or directly trusted consumers.

TRAFFICKERS ARRESTED, DRUGS CONFISCATED--The Judicial Police of Madrid
- arrested 28 traffickers and users of drugs in an apartment of 27 Canillas -
Street and in another at 8 Carranza Street. The police identify as princi-
pal offenders Moises Campos Jiminez, 37 years old; Manuel Santaolalla -
Fraguero, 29 years old; Carlos Castilla Plaza, 28 years old; Mario Roberto
Gomez Ramirez, 22 years old; Juan Maria Gonzalez Buron, 23 years old; and
Bernardo Santos Santiago, 24 years old. Some 100 gm of very pure heroin
(over 95 percent pure) which had been brought to Spain frrnn Thailand by
Campos and Santaolalla was conf iscated from them. This amount, af ter being
cut, would have become 700 gm of heroin which on the black market is now
priced at 8,000 pesetas per gm, which means that it would have had a value
of 5.6 million pesetas. Carlos Castilla was arrested as accessory to the
crime. Part of the heroin and precisi~n.scales were found in his home.
~ He was also the addressee of a package sent through the mails containing
100,000 pesetas worth of hashish. Mario Roberto Gomez, owner of the apart-
ment on Canillas Street, was, according to the police, one of the drug
pushers. Several users met daily in his home. Early in the year he had
another rented apartment which he used for the same purpose and in which
two boys suffered serious drug poisoning. The apartment on Carranza Street
was rented by Gonzalez Buron and 150 gm of marihuana, several packets of
cocaine and various utensils were found there. As for Bernardo Santos, he
had in his possession 20 gm of cocaine over 90 percent pure and he was
arrested in Gonzalez Buron's residence along with 22 youths of both sexes
who were there to buy drugs. [TextJ [Madrid YA in Spanish 11 Nov.79 p 23j
