FIVE OPIUM PEDDLERS WITH PREVIOUS RECORDS ARRESTID
Hangzhou ZHEJIANG RIBAO in Chinese 6 Sep 80 p 3
[Article: "Yueqing Country Uncovers Z`wo Narcotics Cases"]
~Text) Recently, the Public Securitq Bureau of Yueqing County [Zhejiang Province]
uncovere3 in rapid succession two cases of opium peddling and arrested five crim- -
- inals, Lu Jiaofeng [7120 1293 7685], Zhu Chenshan [2612 7115 0610], Chin Xinkang
" [6855 2450 1600], Wu Kanghuan [0702 1660 3883] and Zhou Qingchang [0719 1987 2490] -
in accordance with the law.
Un the morning of 3 May this year, Zhuo Tengzang [0587 4098 5661A], an Industry and
Trade Administration cadre in the Hungqiao District of Yueqing County apprehended
~ a woman by the name of Lu Jiaofeng carrying opium on the road from Danqi Commune
to the town of Hungqiao. Armed with this lead, the Public Security Bureau of Yue-
qing County immediately assigned the necessary personn~l to look into the case. It
was found that on 25 March, Lu Jiaofeng and her cohort Ch~n Xinkang had gone to the
Huai Battalion of Huatan Co~une in Yongjia County and bought 7.3 liang of opium
from Zhu Chenshan. They then proceeded to Gansu Province with the intention of
selling it. However, the deal fell through when they f ailed to agree upon a price.
They were caught by Comrade Zhuo Tengzang while Lu Jiaofeng was in the process of
returning the opium to Zhu Chenshan.
During the trial, the Public Security Bureau of the county further discovered that
Ching Xinkang, aside from dealing in narcotics on that parti~cular occasion, had, _
- together with Wu Kanghuan, Zhou Qir.gchang and Wu Bujian (0702 2975 0256] bought

and had sold it in Linxia County, Gansu. The bureau then assigned somebody to go
to Gansu to investigate the case. With the assistance of the concerned authorities
in Gansu, he learned that Chin Xinkang and Wu Kanghuan, after having brought the
opium to Gansu, had sold it at a high price and reaped a great profit.
Lu Jiaofeng, Zhu Chenshan, Wu Kanghuan, Chin Xinkang, and Shou Qingchang had all
been sentenced to prison terms in the past for drug trafficking or forgery. In ac-
cordance with the provisions of Criminal Law 171 of the People's Republic of China,
and witn the approval of the People's Court in Yueqing County, the Public Security
Bureau put the five culprits under arrest.

[Text] A number of drug addicts and drug dealers from Hong Kong, posing as
passengers to Macao, have recently been apprehended for resorting to devious means
of smuggling such narcotics as heroin and morphine into China and for engaging in
- illegal drug traffic for profit, to the detriment of public order and the health
_ of the people. In July and August alone, public security authorities in Guang-
zhou have apprehended 34 offenders in flagrante delicto and hane seized a quantity
of narcotics and drug paraphernalia. In order to uphold the law and to take effec-
tive measures against the criminals, the public security authorities in Guangzhou,

dealers under arrest. Five of the offenders were given prison terms. Seventeen were
sentenced to labor reformatory. The rest were either put under administrative
detention or given monetary fines. ,
Some of the offenders were also found to have engaged in criminal acts such as
smuggling. For example, drug dealers Chen Fanghua [7115 5364 5478] and Zhu Hancang
- [2612 3352 5547) smuggled in and sald a quantity of heroin and then bought a quantity
of gold from a worker by the name of Ho who was attached to a certain unit from
another province. They were caught by the public security authorities while trying
to smuggle 516 grams of gold out of ~he country. To cite another case, Lin Wenqiang
[2651 2429 1730] was caught by the customs authorities and fined 1,000 yjan for
trying to smuggle expensive medicinal herbs and musk out of the country. On 14 Au-
_ gust, he was ~aught on the spot while trying to smuggle narcotics in from Hong Kong.

DANISH POLICE ARREST TURKS SUSPECTED OF HEROIN SMUGGLING TO FRG
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 28 Nov 80 p 5
[Text] Danish narcotics police believe they have found two of the men behind
the smuggling of Kurdistan heroin from Turkey to West Geraiany.
This happened in connection with the investigation into the Turkish heroin gang
that was uncovered when the narcotics division in Copenhagen detained 31-year-
old Fethi Yxulemz who arrived by car from Munich where he works fox the ~
_ [Augsberg-Nuernberg Machine Factory, Inc.~ concern. The Turk had only been in
Denmark for 2 hours when the police stopped him on Sunday, 2 November, at 0500
hours on his way to Copenhagen. They found 4 kg of pure heroin hidden in the
car. The sales value is around 40 million kroner. Later five more Turks were
arrested in Copenhagen in the case against Yxulemz.
Telephone wiretapping and hidden microphones, one of them in a room in a hotel
in Copenhagen, provided the police with evidence against the gang. A few of the
Turks in the gang live in West Germany. -
Uncovering the heroin gang was solely the work of the Danish police and in the
further investigation they also discovered two men in Ankara who are believed to
be the main suppliers of Kurdistan heroin te various dealer organizations in
western Europe.
The narcotics division of the Copenhagen Police is going to ask the Turkish po-
lice to arrest and charge the two men. No decision has yet been made about send-
ing Danish policemen to Ankara. If tiiis is done it would be the first time
Danish policemen worked in Turkey. The Danish narcotics division is now working
with the West German police on the case.
The detention period for the five Turks runs out today. Police will ask for a
4-week extension.

CUSTOMS MEN SEIZE 12.5 KILOGRAMS OF RAW OPIUM FROM PAKISTAN
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 27 Nov 80 p 5
[Article by Bent Bak Andersen]
[Text] A suitcase full of opium and heroin gave a 20-~ear-old Algerian cold
feet yes terday when he arrived at Kastrup Airport. The street value of the _
drugs is more than 20 million kroner.
The narcotics courier came in on a Pakistan Air Lines plane but when he got into ;
the transit area and had to go through customs he became so nervous that he left ~
the suitc ase standing there and tried to go through customs without it. ~
But the customs men pointed out to him that he had left his suitcase behind
and an a gent was kind enough :.o get it for him. When the suitcase was opened
the drug s spilled out onto the counter. In the suitcase they found 12.5 kg of
raw opium and in a pocket in the suitcase they found several small transparent
bags con taining 1.115 kg of heroin at a cost of 10,000 kroner per gram. The
heroin was packed in bags marked "Dextrose," a totally innocuous substance.
If the r aw opium had been refined into heroin it could have brought in 10-12
million kroner on the drugs market. The confiscated drugs probably come from
Turkey which has once again become a big producer and supplier to the West
European market.
The narc otics police did not wish to provide further inforcnation on the case

ROTTERDAM POLICE AP.REST SWEDE IPI CANNABIS SMUGGLING CASE
Stockholm DAGENS NYHETER in Swedisn 19 Nov 80 p 35
[Article by Leif Dahlin]
[Text) A 30-year-old Stockholm man has been arrested by Dutch police in Rotterdam
on suspicion of taking part in one of the biggest narcotics smuggling cases ever
uncovered in Holland. The Swede was on board the fishing boat on which 1,500 kilo-
grans of cannabis, worth tens of millions of Sweaish kronor, were seized last Friday.
Those arrested along with the Swede included four Dutch men and a Dutch woman. Ac-
cording to reports, the boat had come from a port on Spain's Costa del Sol and was
going to sail on to ~~enmark after a short stay in Rotterdam.
It was by accident t~~at some police and customs officers noticed the boat last Fri-
c,ay. It was navigating so strangely as it passed through a lock that they decided
to go on board for an inspection. One of the customs officers also thought that he
recognized the boat. The former name on the stern had been painted over. Further
investigation revealed that the vessel had sunk off the Dutch coast in 1974 while
involved in the smuggling of 300 kilograms of cannabis. Police have now learned
that the boat was subsequently salvaged in secret and again used in smuggling.
Cordoned Off ,
The boat was taken to the wharf, and the area was cordoned off by police with dogs
trained to detect narcotics. The boar, measuring about 20 meters in length and 6
meters in width, was searched.
Sacks containing a total of 1,500 kilograms of cannabis were discovered in secret
rooms. All six of those on board were arrested. Through INTERPOL, Dutch police
requested cooperation in the investigation from the Swedish Criminal Police Corps. -
_ Police Sup~rintendent Karl-Erik Augustson of the Narcotics Section confirmed that
several house searches were made as a result of the Swede's arrest.
But the investigation shows that the Swede, who once worked as a taxi driver in
Stockholm, does not have a criminal past. He left Sweden last summer, telling his
relatives that he intended to visit a Mediterranean country.

Reticent
The Swedish Consulate in Rotterdam has not received any inquiries concerning help
for the Swede. On the contrary, the police have been very reticent about what the ~
interrogation has revealed so far. ;
According to Superintendent Augustson, it can be regarded as probable, regardless of
the role the Swede played, that a large portion of the confiscated shipment of can-
nabis was intended for the narcotics market in Scandinavia.

So said Ka~_ Ekanger, chairmaa of the Oslo Child Protection Agency, in a comment on
- ARBEIDERBLADET's report on Saturday which said, "New drug concern in Oslo, addict
mothers give b irth and keep the children and continue to use drugs."
"We have to have a reasonable and thorough discussion of the remedies available to
the agency," said Kai Ekanger to ARBEIDERBLADET. "Are our remedies sufficient?
Should we continue to handle addicted mothers and their children as individual
cases? Or do we need something more, some entirely special remedies in addition?"
~ "What remedies are available to the agency today?"
"Now and then we put the infant in a foundlin~ home, other times the mother and the
child are sent to a home for mothers, and a third solution is supervision.
"It is not easy. Now and then the mother is so young that she herself is also a -
client of ours. Other times the mother is much older. Our problem is how to
synchronize these different and individual cases."

HOME CULTI'JATION OF CANNABIS SHOWS GREAT INCREASE
Stockholm DAGENS NYHETER in Swedish 25 Nov a0 p 37
[Article by Lotta Schullerqvist]
[Text] "The growing of cannabis in Sweden has increased sharply in recent years.
It is being cultivated almost everywhere in the country, from Skane in the south to
Vilhelmina in the north. And the cannabis that is grown is at least as strong as
imported marihuana. We have found samples that are stronger than hashish of normal
quality." So says Marianne von Wachenfeldt, a chemist at the National Criminal Po-
lice Registry and Forensic Laboratory (SKL) in Linkoping.
She works with analyses cf cannabis and says that the number of cannabis cases has
doubled in a coup~e of years. The increase involves chiefly homegrown cannabis.
"Today there is certainly more Swedish-grown marihuana in Sweden th~n is smuggled in.
It will be risky if its cultivation spreads, because most people do not take the -
dangers of homegrown 'grass' seriously. They do not realize that their plants can
have such a high THC content. The highest we have found in 'Swedish' cannabis is
7.5 percent."
_ (THC is the intoxicating substance.)
In 1972 the SKL examined 50 samples of confiscated hashish. At that time, the THC .
content varied between 0.3 and 10.5 percent.
"There are hundreds of cannabis growers in Uppsala. We could spend a whole month
doing nothing but confiscating t~ie fields we know about. But we can't spare the
time," says Detective Inspector Tommy Fredriksson, who works in the Narcotic:s Divi-
sion of the Uppsala Police.
"Marihuana is grown in the open, on roofs, on windowsills, on balconies, and in
closets using greenhouse lamps. And it is the real thing that is being grown. If
the ban on cultivation for one's own use is lifted, as many people wish, there will r
be no mor~ barriers against anyone smeking it--since, of course, it will not even .
cost money." _
According to Marianne von Wachenfeldt, home cultivation of cannabis is quite a new
phenomenon.
