- BLUEYRINT FOR CRACKDOWN ON DRUG SMUGGLING INTRODUCED
Canberra THE AUSTRALIAN in English 17. Mar 81 p 3
[Article by John Webb]
[Text] The Federal Goverr.~~nent has been urged to step up its war on smuggling
aTid drug dealing with stiffer penalties and a vigorous new policy on prosecu-
tions.
_ The "get tough" approach is outlined in a top-level report drawn up by a task
force of senior officials in the Department of Business and Consumer Affairs.
For five months the force has be~n probing allegations of bungling, maladminis-
tration and possible corruption within the Bureau of Customs.
- Its 90-page report is now on the desk of the Minister for Business and Consumer
Affairs, Mr Moore, awaiti.tib his return from Bangkok next Monday.
Mr Moore is expected to waste r.o time in implementing the main recommendations
~ of the report.
The task force could not substantiate the allegations about corruption. But
after interviewing dozens o~ customs officers and staff of the Australian Feder-
~ al Police and the Deputy Crown Solicitor's Office it produced severe criticisms
of management and organisation.
Legislation changes are expected to beef up penalties for smuggling, with par-
_ ticular emphasis on bond stores which handle millions of tonnes of cargo on a
"trust and check" basis. .
, Prosecutions will be launched following detailed complaints from customs offi-
cers that investigations were bogged down because of petty decisions or lack of
action by senior officers.
The task force recommends procedural changes within the Bureau of Customs to
eradicate m3.,:management and improve staff relations and morale.
Allegations
The task force was appoinr_ed by the formtr Minister, Mr Vic Garland, following
a series of allegations by officials of the Customs Officers Association.

It investigated a wide range of issues including:
--Infiltration of Sydney cargo depots, including Qantas, by an organi~ed
crime syndicate. A senior investigator discovered tonnes of cargo were �
_ simply vanishing into thin air--but four months after his report was lodged
- senior off icials in Canberra were still ignorant of~its existence.
--Return of more than $50,000 worth of pornographic material to a Sydney
businessman. The material was hax~ded over without the knowledge of the cus-
toms officers who seized it and carried on their investigation expecting that
prosecution~ would be launched.
--Inexplicab le delays in instigating prosecutions, even wt:~n the bureau had
amassed detailed evidence and in some cases con~essions from suspects. How-
ever, in some cases which had languished for years, the bureau was a~le to
launch pros ecutions a few days after det~ils were published in this newspaper.
--Complaints that customs officers manning the barrier at airports and ports
_ were given verbal orders to "turn a blind eye" to incoming pornography. The
cu stoms men protested that departmental policy conflicted with announced gov-
ernment policy.
The federal secretary of the Customs Officers Association, Mr Bob Spanswick,
- s aid yesterday he was eagerly awaiting details of the task force report.
_ "The key question is whether this will be ~ust another whitewash," he said.
"F rank~.y, we would be making real progress if the task force would recommend
th at the Government's own policy on employee participation should be implemented
~y the Bureau of Customs."
[Edits>z's Note: In its regular feature "Questions in the House," the Melbourne
THE AGE tn English 11 March 1981, page 16, notes that "Mr Kent (Lab., Vic.)
asked the Mini.ster for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs Mr Macphee whether a
recent Governmei� decision to crack down on foreign drug smugglers would be
used agains t CIA-financed drug traffickers involved with the Nugan Hand bank-
- ing group. Mi ~4acgh�e said that the policy tabled last year would continue to
- apply. If there was any evidence that groups referred to by Mr Kent were in-
volved in drug trafficking, action would be taken against them."]

[Editorial: "Time To Get Serious About Drug Problems"]
, ;
[Excerpt] Kids are getting high sni�fing, attending classes too doped to learn.
Worst of all, they are in~ecting themselves with a short -time kick and long- '
time poison. ,
~
It has got out of hand.
_ It is time authorities admitted that the current campaign is not working and ~ :
- pledged--right now--to get serious.
The horror-drugs of the moment are not heroin and cocaine. They are barbiturates, ,
for which there are now non-lethal substitutes. So let's start by banning bar-
biturates for all but those who really need them.
Let's also tighten up the monitoring of prescriptions, weed out the crooked ~
quacks and crack down on the irresponsible chemists. Le t's have cooperation ~
between government departments to catch the "Mr Bigs" of the drugs trade, and
let's really come down on the pushers, who have no addiction but are knowingly ,
selling slow death to clients. Let's take the political point-scoring out of
the debate and take the inter-State police rivalry out of the enforcement.

POLICE OFFICIAL COMMENTS ON ORGANIZED CRIME-DRUG LINKS '
Canberra THE AUSTRALIAN in English 19 Mar 81 p 9
[Article by Richard Carey: "Setting a Trap for the Mr Bigs"]
[Excerpt] In the red light districts of Australian
cities, today's youth can "score" drugs with nonchalant
ease. Educational scare campaigns have done nothing to
- less en their attraction.
"There are men and women raalking the streets of our cities making millions out
of drugs," says tihe Minister for Administrative Services, Mr Newman, who has
charge of the Co~onwealth Police.
"Thej.r operations are highly sophisticated. They mix with respectable people
and weave webs around themselves which are complex and formidable."
Mr Newman, who is relatively new to his portfollo, says he is both amazed and ~
- disgusted at the involvement ~f organised crime in drugs trafficking and how,
through the eff orts of these people, others are reduced to lives of utter degra-
dation.
The Tasmanian minister has been a prime mover in setting up what he and others c
see as perhaps t~he best antidote yet for cutting off the poisons being in~ected,
swallowed and smoked by young Australia.
In Perth last month, an intelligence bureau was set up comprising State and Com- -
monwealth police. Its job, according to Mr Newman, is to pull together informa-
tion from all States and go after the crime bosses behind Australia's traffic in _
drugs.
_ 'Bent Cops'
Mr Newman says there has been a tendency among State police forces to merely
arrest the "small fry" so they have impressive figures on arrests and convictions _
to put before their respective ministers. _
Mr Newman finds this understandable but short-sighted. He says ;:b.e experience
= has been that crime bosses have a ready and willtng supply of peddlers.

APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000300104454-8
"The job of the bureau," he s3ys, "will be to go after the big shots, to beaver
away until arrests are made of those conzrolling the drug trade."
Mr Newman admits there are "bent cops who protect those they should be chasing'~
and he says a handicap has always been the suspicion among State police forces
of Couunonwealth intervention.
- "What must be realised is that criminals--unlike police forces--don't respect
State boundaries and often use them to confound police ef forts . It is only by
joint effort, by fuli cooperation and trust that we can tackle this pr.oblem."
Mr Newman says the intelligence bureau will have at its disposal the most sophis-
ticated surveillance equipment available as well as experts f rom taxation, the
Treasury, Customs, c~mputer specialists and accountants.
He warns that results might not be seen for at least a year but is confident
that a force chosen for capability and integrity and with its specialist back-up
will succeed in provlding information for States to follow up and take to court.
- Mr Newman emphasises the effort is not one of containment.
As far as the Government is concerned, marijuana remains a socially undesirable
drug and will continue to draw criminal penalties. Mr Newman says the Govern-
ment rejects arguments that its illegality draws people into contact with harder
drugs .
Soon authorities will have the use of a satellite to pinpoint marijuana planta-
tions. Even without this technology police have made several spectacular
mari3uana busts in recent months. ~
However, there appears to be still plenty of cannabis available and government
analysts say it is becoming of stronger potency.
The presumption is that 1�ik~ heroin, much of it is coming from abroad, from
Asia and South America where drugs production is an ever-increasing source of
~ foreign income.
Apart from the cost in human lives of this traffic, it is in Australia's inter-
ests to stem it for reasons of cool cash. The Williams Royal Commission on Drugs
estimated that $16 million left Australia each ~~ar to buy heroin for local
~ addicts. Not only that, by the time the heroin was sold and the money "laundered"
abroad, the cost was something like $100 million a year.
Like the US, Australia is spending large sums helping Third World police forces
~ c~mbat the drug traffic and by contributing to international agencies which
finance new forms of agriculture in areas currently under drug plant cultivation.
IIut also like the US, the effort hasn't stopped the traffic. It is an interna~
tional problem which same say demands a fortress mentality.

STIFFER SENTENCES SOUGHT IN ZAI~AGLIONE CASE APPEAL
- Melbour~~e THE AGE in English 18 Mar 81 p 5
[Excerpt] The Federal Attorney-General yesterday urged the Court of Criminal
Appeal to fix substa.ztially tougher ~ail sentences for three people convicted
heroin offences, to deter others seeking qu3ck and huge profits.
Mr E. D. Lloyd, QC, for tiie Commonwealth, told the.court that heavy sentences
were almost the only weapon that could be used to 3iscourage ruthless and
knowledgeab,le people from moving into the drug trade.
_ The sentences that the court would fix in the case would set the standard or
11tariff" for Australian courts dealing with organ~sers of drug importation and
distribution, he said.
.
The Chief Justice, Sir John Young, and Justices Murray and Southwell are hear-
- ing appeals arising out of the conviction last December of four people or~ drug
offences. At their trial last year, all pleaded not guilt~ to charges involv-
ing importing and possessing herain. During the trial, Mr Ll~yd said it was
the first case in Australia in which the actual instigators and f inanciers had
been put on trial.
, Antonio Zampaglione, 31, of Hardwicke Street, Frankston, is appealing against a
~ail terni of 25 years with a non-parole term of 21 yQars. His brother Salvatore,
26, of McKean Street, Fitzroy, is appealing against a jail. term of 20 years with
a minimum of 16 years.
David Quentin Jewell, 37, of Esdale Street, Nunawading, was sentenced to 15
years' ~ail with a non-parole period of 12 years, and Helen Margaret Barnacle,
26, of McGregor Street, Parkdale, was sentenced to ]2 years' jail with a non-
parole term of eight years' jail.
TY~ey have appealed against their convictions and sentences, claiming the jail
terms imposed were excessive. They also allege that an`Insight'article in THE
AGE prejudiced their tri~ls and that the ~ury should have been discharged.
.
The Crown is appealing against the sentences imposed on Mr Salvatore Zampag--
lione, Mr Jewell and Miss Barnacle, claiming the term~ imposed ~y Mr Justice
Gray were manif estly inadequate.

BRIEFS
JAIL FOR HEROIN DEALERS--Heroin dealing inevitably had to lead to imprisonment,
a Supreme Court Judge said yesterday. Mr Justice Jones said that it was a
serious offence and apFeared to be increasing. He gaoled two part-time musicians
for selling heroin at Swanbourne between September 3 and October 2 last year.
Grant Douglas Tree (23), labourer, was gaoled for four years with a 16-month
non-parole period and Michael Paterson Piesse (22), landscape gardener, was
gaoled for three years with a 12-month minimum term. Tree, who was living with
Piesse in Cornwall Street, Swanbourne, pleaded guilty to two offences of selling
heroin and Piesse admitted one charge. Mr K. F. Smart, defending both men, said
that t hey became involved in the drug~scene while they were tryi~,g to form a band.
They were both unemployed at the time. [Text] [Perth THE WEST AUSTRALIAN in
English 10 Mar 81 p 23]
FINE FOR COCAINE--The son of Channel 7 sports director, Rex Mossop, was yester-
day fined $800 in his second drug related court appearance in six months. Greg
Mossop, 24, stci instructor, of Balgowlah, Sydney, pleaded guilty to possessing
cocaine on March 9. Mr F. McKenzie SM fined him $800 and released him on a$1000
three-year good behavior bond. In the same court in September, Mossop was fined
$1200 and put on a four-year bond for possessing heroin, Indian hemp, and assault
at Manly on May 29. Mr P:~cKenzie warned Mossop that he could, in future, face
two years ;rprisonment and a$2000 fine. [Excerpt] [Canberra THE AUSTRALIAN in
Engl~sh 12 Mar 81 p 3]
' NEW COCAINE ROUTE--Singapore, 11 March--Drug syndicates smuggling heroin into
- Australia f rom South-East Asia are reported to be preparing to extend their ope-
rations by opening a cocaine "connection" with producing countries in Central
and South America. The Secretary-General of Thailand's Narcotics Control Boar.d,
Ma3or-General Pow Sarasin, told me last night that Thai auth~orities had recently
seized two small shipments of cocaine in Bangkok. "We suspect they were going
. to Aus tralia from America, possibly Mexico, via Thailand--which does not produce
_ this drug and where there is no market for it--to catch Aust�ralian officials
unaware," he said. "Both the cocaine caches were bundled up with larger ship-
ments of heroin. The syndicates may have wanted to try out the Australian market
for co caine, which is even more expensive than heroin." General Pow said AustraZ-
ian narqotic:s officials were informed immediately. [By Michael Richardson]

big marihuana plantation in the forest near Collie. Full details of th~ opara-
tion are being withheld because detectives are still looking f or the person who
planted and tended the crop. The chief of the CIB Supt J. ~liley, was reluctant
to put a value on the crop, but said that it would amou~ht to tens of thousands _
of dollars. More than 1000 plants were seized some of them nearly five metres
tall. (Marihuana is being sold for about $800 a kilogram.) '!'he raid on the

A. Mitchell, of the Bunbury CIB. Det-Sgt Ibbotson said in Perth yesterday that .
the p~antaticn was deep in the forest and reticulated from a stream. It had
been found last week by a man who was shooting wild pigs. The plot had been
cleared of trees and undergrowth and had been carefully tended. Zfie police had
pulled up the plants and would destroy them. [Text] [Perth THE WEST AUSTRALIAN

PROBATION FOR MORPHINE--A youth's appearance in court on drug charges was evi- .

that David George Porter (18), apprentice painter, came from a good supportive
family background. He placed Porter, formerly of Elliott Road, Scarborough, on
probation for three years and ordered him to do 150 hours' unpaid co~unity
work. Porter had pleaded guilty in February to charges of possessing morphine
on October 4 last year with intent to sell or su.pply it to another person and
supplying morphine to another person on or about the same day. The 3udge said
that Porter was not a drug addict, but hc had gone further than "snorting"
(sniffing) heroin and morphine. Porter had injected himself with both drugs.

' AFP' O~i OPIUM CROP IN GOLDEN CRES CENT
- BK110908 Hong Kong AFP in ~,nglish Q845; ~ 11 Apr $1
[Article by Alain Faudeux]
[Text] Islamabad, 11 Apr (AFP)--The golden crescent, the opium-producing region
stretching through Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, will have an even lower opium crop
- than last year, United Nations narcotics specialists predict here.
Only 2 years ago, in 1979, the golden crescent was the world's largest prod ucer,
with some 1,200 tons of raw opium--yielding 120 tons of pure grade heroin.
This year's crop is expected to be drastically reduced, with only 70 tons due to
be harvested in Pakistan.
In Afghanistan many peasants have fled their hillside poppy fields because of the
guerrilla war against the Soviet Union. In Iran the Islamic regime has cracked
down sharply on poppy growers--as well as against smugglers.
In Pakistan, the government has also been active hut the reasons for peasant loss
of interest in.poppies are mainly financial.
The bumper c�rop of 1979 flooded the world market, bringing prices to the farmer
_ crashing down.
In 1968, Pakistani farmers were getting 1,600 rupees (160 dollars) a kilo for raw
opium. The going rate this season is at best 400 rupees (40 dollars), according tn
government narcotics agents.
Pakistani and UN narcotics agents are therefore anxiously trying to woo the peasant
away from poppies before dwindling market supplies push prices back up again. The
peasants' motivation is purely financial and farmers are only too happy to switch.
crops if they are promised higher returns,- But the agencies lack sufficient funds
as most of the alternative cash crops thpy suggest require better irrigation.
Pakistani Government sources are convinced that if Western nations gave only a
part of the cost of their anti-drug abuse programmes to this substitution project,
poppy growing could be entirely eradicated from the country.

But at Landi Kotal, at the gate to the Khyber Pass to Afghanistan, the opium supply "
appears in no danger of drying up. This is tribal territory, independent of control
from Islamabad.
Any foreigner strolling thraugh the bazaar will be offered locally-refiaed heroin =
by fi~.rce, gun-toting Pushtu farmers. But the situation is misleadingly rural and
Pakist~ni police are quick tc~ point out that the international drug rings have the
situation firmly under their thumt~.
Goverrunent authorities have dismantled four heroin laboratories in the region in
the past two years but production appears to be on the increase again. Narcotics
- agents must now gain new permission from tribal leaders to seek out, the labs, fi-
nanced ~ith virtually unlimited foreign cash.
Narcot~~s agencies were aware of two heroin refineries in Kabul and Herat across
the border in Afghanistan. United Nations information dried up after the Soviet
invasion but the war is thought to have hindered the drug trade, rather than sup- ~
pr~ted it as happened in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam war.
The United Nations is no better informe.d on Iran, whose border with Afghanistan and ~
Pakistan was dotted with heroin labs. But the Islamic government has imposed tough
penalties for traffickers--with many su~arily shot over the last year.
Here in Pakistan, police last year brought 11,000 charges against farmers in the
northern region of Bunerm,traditional poppy country. Some 4.5 tons of opium were
seized and a recent Interior Ministry report said that poppy growing had dropped by
87 percent over the last two years.
_ The Pakistani Government plans to buy the 15 tons of raw opium produced in the
least accessible tribal regions, cutting out the dealers and either selling the
= opium to pharmaceutical companies or using it in the country's 150,000 opium addic-
tion centres. .
United Nations officials are confident that the poppy growing can be eliminated in
Pakistan but point out that, worldwide, heroin addition is on the increase,
boosting market conditions.
The United States has 235,000 known addicts, more than the whole of Europe, while
Iran has at least 700,OOO~Thailand 400,OQ0 and Bur~a 200,000.
If demand should suddenly send prices rocketing again, nothing will make the
gold crescent peasants see the sense of dropping a crop yielding 1,000 dollars
for one dollar's worth of seed. ~

HEROIN SMUGGLER~S ATTEMPT FOILED

~Text~ Customs staff of the preventive collectorate apprehended a drug smuggler
from Rarachi airport after a hot chase and recovered 1300 grams of heroin, worth
over US dollars one ffillion, from his possession after his body search, said an
_ official handout issued here yestsrday.
The heroin was concealed in the lining of his coat.
The personal search of the passenger also yielded six valuable antique coins of
the Moghul vintage.
Passenger Abdul Hameed, a British passport holder, was booked for Frankfurt on a
PIA, flight and was intercepted by the drug enforcement staff of customs after the
- completion of briefin~ with the airline and iuanigration forma.lities. The passen-
= ger, however, made an abortive atCempt to run away, but was chased and caught by
the customs staff from the petrol pump situa.ted at the airport. 3'he heroin was
secreted in the specially designed lining of his duffle coat.
Customs are investigating to find out the link of the passenger with the inter-
national gang of drug trafficking. They are also looking into the possibility of
_ likely theft of the antique coins from some museum in the country.
Investigations on the spot revealed that the passenger. was to make a contact for
delivery to a member of an international gang in rrankfurt who was supposed to
~ identify himself and take delivery by producing the other half of the Pakistani
currency note of Rs 10- denomination beariag No. QM200766 recovered from the

PHYSICIAN FINED FOR EXCESSIVE DRUG PRESCRIPTIONS
Warsaw SLUZBA ZDROWIA in Polish No 3, 16 Jan 81 p6
[Article b~ "Obserwator": "From the Work of the Professional Control
Commission Private Practice and Narcotica"]
[Text] When the health service field workers conducting a sanitary in-
spection stepped into the private gynecological office of Dr G., even they
in spite of their familiarity with the cultural realities of our every-
day life had to take their heads in their hands. Old equipment cluttered
up a dusty, grimy room: a broken television set, a sewing machine, an un-
usable lamp. In one corner, a sofa covered by a dirty blanket, in another
under an equally dirty towel a gynecological chair. At the same time,
no lack of decorative elements: potted and artif icial flowers, also covered -
by a layer of dust. His instruments Dr G.~keptin a container under the
cupboard, his gloves (supposedly clean) on the cu~board ir. the d,irect neighbor-
hood of old newspapers and a dirty kidney bowl. -
There was no running water in the off ice, nor a container with liquid disinfec-
tant for the soiled instruments. After interventions, Dr G. threw the scrapings
directly into a toilet bowl covered with grayish deposits, without prior dis-
infection. _
In spite of this, Dr G. was popular. On the average, he received about 20 patients
per day. The causes of his popularity can be sought in low prices. As he con-
firms himself, an abortion cost about 600 zlotys with him while his colleagues
in this branch charged 1,000 zlotys.
- And ~oreover, isn't this cleanliness requirement way overdone? I quote Dr G.'s
- opinion:
"You can believe me, I had no great problema in my practice, I had no inflam-
mations or infections. If conditions had indeed been unsanitary, every second
patient would have been in the hospital with an inflammation."
There is nothing to be added, nothing to be aubtracted. However, Dr G. was
- suspect not only for the conduct of a p rivate practice violating the most elemen-
tary principles of hygiene. This offense came to light to same extent as the
byproduct of the ascertainment of another one, one of a greater specific weight.

Namely, an inspection in the pharmacies established that Dr G. had been
writing a huge number of prescriptions for atupefactive substances. In a
single year alone, he made out (and personally had filled) prescriptions '
for 4,252 ampoules of a stupefactive drug.
When questioned, Dr G. did not u~.derstand the charge at all. What was the
issue? After aTl, in his practice he performa such operationa as electro-
coagulation of uteral neck erosions, interruption of pregnancies, insertion -
of contraceptive loops, scarification of abscesses of Bartholin's glands,
all of which require anesthetization ("it is precisely because with me it -
did not hurt that the patients came to me in droves," he stated later).
- The next question sounded thus: but where is the documentation for the intake
and dispensation of the stupefactive substances employed, and where the list
of patients treated? Dr G. states in response that he did not want to reveal
the actual dimensions of his private practice to the Financial Department.
He had aiready been charged a high surtax once. Now he pays a small lump
- snm--hence he sits quietly and writes nothing down. _
Dr G.'s f ear of the inspector of health service products, who investigated
the matter of the stupefactive substances, must have been powerful ind~ed
to induce him to acknowledge immediately and without prevarications a trans-
gression of a financial nature of no small weight. The investigator, however,
and later the members of the ad~udication team of the Professional Control
- Commission, remained inquisitive: what happened with such a large quantity
of stupefactives? Did Dr G. perhaps use narcotics?
This conj ecture was eliminated by a specialized analysis, to which Dr G.
subjected himself voluntarily. The following significant dialog then took
_ place in front of the ad~udication team: -
Question: "What did you do with the prescription substance?" -
- Answer: "In 1978 there was an absolute lack of local anesthetics. Therefore
I used these stupefactives intramus~ularly. When 1 ampoule did not suffice,
then 2 and even 3... A~ times I administered as many as 15 ampoules daily." _
Chairman: "If you gave a patient 3 ampoules, then you wo~:ld not manage to
wake her up for at least 36 hours. What did you do--what are you telling us,
after all, we are doctors and we know, what stupefactives are."
Answer: "I administered them in the manner which I stated."
Chairman: "For electrocoagulation we do not administer stupefactives, but
let us assume that you did. Let us now count: you work 280 days in the
year (for on holidays and Sundays you do not work, and you also took vacations
which means that you administered 15-20 ampoules every day. In addition, you .
- want to convince us that for electrocoagulation you administered as many as
3 ampoules
Member of the adjudication team: "Administering 3 ampoules--that is a crime:
From the documentation we see that you purchased 30 ampoules irn a single day.

And the d~y after you again had a pY�escription filled. Hence we again ask:
What did you do with the stupefactive substances?"
Answer: "I administered them to my patients. I realize that I~id ill, and
I am asking for the maximum Punishment."
Chairman: "The entire local cooperative of inedical specialists, which employs 36
_ , gynecologists and obstetricians, used 6,000 ampoules of this substance in the course
- of the year to carry out 5,889 interventions, and you alone use as many as 4,252
ampoules?"
Answer: "There are anesthesiologists in the cooperative, and I do the interven-
tions all by myself."
The next question is addresaed to the voivodship consulting physician. "Are private
practices sub~ect to the consultant's supervision?"
Answer of r_he consultant: "Practices in the cooperatives of specialists definitely
are inspected. It would be difficult for me to say, however, how this matter looks
- with respect to private practices. Neither I nor my predecessor inspected private
practices."
The District Prof essional Control Cammission did not manage to establish, what Dr
G. had done with the stupefactives. What is more, the absolute lack of documenta-
_ tion did not pennit the settling of accounts with t~e accused for even ~ne single
ampoule. It remains unknown, when, where, to wham, in whaC doses and for what
causes these substances had been administered or made availal~le.
The jurisdicti~on of the first instance sentenced Dr G. to the penalty of censure
for a period of 2 years and to a fine of 15,000 zlotys for the introduction into
circulation and issuance out of control of 4,252 ampoules of stupefactive substances
without evidence and justified medical indications, as well as for the nonassurance
- of the necessary sani.tary conditions for the carrying out of analyses and gyne-
_ cological interventions in his private practice, which exposed the patients to
danger.
� The representative of the health services appealed against this ~udgment. The Pro-
fessional Control Appeals Commission acknowledged the correctness of the stand taken
by the representative and instead of the penalty of censure imposed the penalty of
a 2-year deprivation of the right to exercise the profession in the territory of
the town and the voivodship, In its justification of the ~udgment, it considered
it necessary to invoke the regulations in force which apply to the matter of the
issuance of prescriptions for stupef active substances by privately practicing
physicians. I quote this section of the opinion:
"Ora 5 April 1973, the Ministry for Health and Social Welfare transmitted to the

PRESIDENT REQUESTS UN AID TO FIGHT DRUG TRAFFIC
PY070325 Paris AFP in Spanish 0015 GMT 4 Apr 81
- [Text] La Paz, 3 Apr (AFP)--In a letter addressed to the UN secretary general, Boliviari
PresidQnt Gen Luis Garcia Meza asks the organization to grant Bolivia the necessary
cooperation to eradicate drug trafficking and coca plantations without causing serious
social damage to the country.
The president stated that the special emergency fund would be administered by the UN
_ j ointly with the Bolivian Government and with the close cooperation of those countries
affected by drug consumption.
The letter said Bolivia trusts that the measures already adopted, together with the
f oreign cooperation necessary for their execution, will ser~e to overcome this situation
which affects a great part of humanity and which unjustly and distr~ssingly damsg::o ~he
country's image.
At the end of his letter to Waldheim, Garcia Meza pointed out that a country as poor
as Bolivia cannot be abandoneri to its fate in such a large-scale and dangerous task '
which goes beyond our capabilities and make a more definite international cooperation ~
indispensable.
The preaident read his letter to the UN secretary general over a radio and television
network after reading a message to the Community of nations requeating the establishment
of an international commission for the struggle against drug trafficking in coordination
with Bolivia.
It is pointed out that the fund should be communsurate with the damage it seeks to
prevent aince the 'Jnited Statea alone spends million per year to rehabilitate the _
v ictima of drugs.
The chief of atate then read a decree by which the Government Coca Registration Office
is created with the objective of making a national registry of coca plantationa in
which all coca producers will register free of chargea. This registry will calculate -
the country's coca needs and will program its legal production. Any plantation which
is not registered will be declared illegal and destroyed by the armed forces.
It is believed that approximately 50 drug traffickers are under arrest in the country,
two of whom are considered ma3or traffickera and six or seven are considered secondary -
traffickera within the mafia ranks.
It was also diaclosed that in the next few hours Preaident Garcia Meza will release
the list of the head drug traffickers recently arrested in Santa Cruz, eastern Bolivia. -

DETAILS OF COCAINE TRAFFICKING OPERATION DISCLOSID
, Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese 21 Feb 81 p 11
[Text] The trafficker called Mais Preto--owner of the cocaine seized the day be-
fore yesterday in Benfica--headed an organized ring for drug distribution with a
network of "aircraft" (middlemen). that even had a work schedule for each day of the
week. The discovery was made by officers and soldiers of the PM [Military Police]
Battalion for Policing and Special Activities, who found the list of traffickers
and other records, along with 300 packets of cocaine warth 1 million cruzeiros.
The raid was made on Apartment 307 of Block 5 of the COHAB [Low-Cost Housing Company]
housing complex at 1501 Suburbana Avenue, where Sebastiana Maria da Silva, known as
Dona Tiana, was arrested. Dona Tiana confessed to receiving 2,000 cruzeiros per
- week to look after and distribute the cocaix~e delivered to her by Mais Preto.
The trafficker's notebook, found in a"007"-type bxiefcase which also held most of
the cocaine,.contains a list of names, each followed by a figure in cruzeiros. By
analyzing page 20 of the notebook, police were able to assess the volume of sales,
concluding that all the names listed are accomplices of the trafficker Mais Preto.
Traffic
The amounts recorded--barring a mistake by the person making the entries--added up
. to 5 million cruzeiros. In the notebook are the names Franca, 1,392,000 cruzeiros;
Walter, 900,000 cruzeiros; Po, 480,000 cruzeiros; Pequinho, 680,000 cruzeiros;
Alzo, 100,~J00 cruzeiros; and Lincol, 1,300,000 cruzeiros. Police believe that, af-
ter delivery of the cocaine at the home of Sebastiana Maria da 3ilva, the accom-
plices picked up their shares to be sold in the housing complex itself and in other
places. One officer said that in the complex alone there are over 20 drug-selling
locations.
On a sheet of paper found in the briefcase, police discovered the "work schedule,"
with the names or nicknames of persons who were to be responsible for selling co-
caine during the week, This enabled each "aircraft" to sell the drug only 1 day
per week, making it more difficult to indentify him fa_case of an investigation.
G ang
Police said the gang of Mais Preto, whose real name they know only by the first
name of Moriel, consists of Marco, considered the "manager"; Marquinhos, "the most

dangerous and responsible for several homicides"; Julio Cesar, called Tamba, who
operates away from the complex; and Walter and Franca, who sell in that locality.
The schedule had the following list: Monday--Ze Marcos and Serginho; Tuesday--
Joaquim and Paulo Cesar; Wednesday and Thursday--blank; Friday--Julio Cesar and
Marquinhos.
The trafficker, according to police, has an apartment in Block 7 of the complex but
is seldom there, as it is occupied by relatives. One of his sisters, who is unem-
ployed, has a current-model car. All the members of the gang live or have relatives
in the complex, which, the officers say, makes it hard to arrest them:
"We are certain that most of them are watching us work right now, but their rela-
tives provide protection, preventing their arrest. They are men ready for a shoot-
out at any time; they have no respect even for children."
Dona Sebastiana, 65, Guarded the Packets
nvestigatian of cocaine sales in the Sao Jorge complex began with arrest of an ad-
~'ict who, when he was found with a packet, had mentioned the name of Dona Tianao In
the very ~irst week police discovered that he was referring to Sebastiana Maria da
Silva, 65. Of humble appearance, known by all the neighbors and living in the com-
- plex since the removal af part of the Nova Holanda squatter settlement in 1971,
Dona Tiana at first aroused no suspicion among police.
During their surveillance, however, police aasigned to patrol duty noticed what they�
considered abnora?al activity in Block S and discovered the great number of visits to
Apartment 307. Police later received a report that on weekends Mais Preto arrived
with the cocaine and left it with someone in the complex.
The day before yesterday Dona Tiana did not go out of the house and, when the police
knocked on her door, her first reaction was to deny any involvement with drugs.
The apartment was searched and there was a briefcase with the packets of cocaine on
a living-room stand. During the whole time she denied selling packets to those who
came to her house, but she could not explain why one of the envelopes (in which
there were 40 or 50 packets) was in a dresser drawer in her bedroom, and open. The
others were stapled and kept in the briefcase. After much prodding, she admitted
that she was receiving 2,000 cruzeiros per week "to look after Mais Preto's brief-
case."
Fear
- When the police arrived, Dona Tiana was in her apartment with her daughter, Alda
Bispo. The latter was surprised to learn that her mother was hiding cocaine in the
- house and it was she who persuaded her to tell the police what she knew.
"It doesn't do any good, Mother. Why are you doing this? You will ruin the repu-
_ tation of my brothers (there are two of them) who have jobs and are honest meno
Tell them everything; it does no good to hide anything."
Dona Tiana then confessed that Mais Preto was the owner of the briefcase. She con-
firmed that she was being paid to take care of '_t and, after asserting several times
that this was the first time, she decided to give in:

APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000300104454-8
"To tell the truth, I only took care of it about five times, but that was all."
"What about the open envelope in the bedroom?" ~
"I don't know. I didn't put anything there."
Alda was visiting her mother and asserted she:was unaware of her involvement with
the traffickers, but she knew that Mauro, one of Mais Preto's accomplices, killed
_ a young man in the Nova Holanda squatter settlement 1 week ago:
"I told Mother about the young man and even mentioned the name of the man who
- killed him. That man is dangerous."
Dona Tiana's ~daughter said she was a widow:
"My husband was a bus driver and was killed in an accident."
A few minutes later her mother seemed to regret having revealed the name of the
trafficker. When asked more questions about Mais Preto she began to cry:
"I did not know what was in the briefcase; I only kept it and turned it over to
whoever came after it."
Dona Tiana said she was separated from her husband, from whom she receives monthly
financial assistance, including the payment on the apartment. She was booked on
charges and put in the 21st Precinct jail.
Capta3.n Carneiro, who commanded the Benfica operation, said he already has informa-
'Cian that could lead to the arrest of Mais Preto or his accomplices in the next few
days, "although I do not think this wi11 be easy." He explained that the trafficker
has no fixed address and has probably already left the area "because of the drug
seizure."

JOINT OPERATION NETS ARMS, COCAINE, MARIAU~:NA, 125 ARRESTS
- Rio de Janeiro J~RNAL DO BRASIL in Portuguese 27 Feb 81 p 15
[Text) In a combined operation involving military police, 5 police precincts, the
Gener.al Department for Special Inveatigations, the General Department for Civil. Po-
lic:;: and the Metropolitaa Police D epartment, about 200 men yesterday made 125 ar-
�ests and seized an Urco carbine, a.32-caliber revolver, 6.35 and 7.65 pistols, a
- muzzle-loading pistol, ammunition for these weapons, 3 large knives~ 28 packets of
cocaine, 2Er small bundles of marihuana and 1 car radio of queationable origin.
Led by PM [Military Police] oo~nandant CoI Nilton Cerqueira da Cruz, the raid ex-
tended from Santa Teresa to Pawna, including the entire Leopoldina zone. Among
the grisoners, 35 were considered "highly dangerous," according to the Communica-
tions Office of the Safety Secretariat, and were detained.
~ Mobilization
"Camburoes" [translation unknown], radio-patrol cars and men from the 7th (Santa
Teresa), 21st (Bonsucesso), 22d (Penha), 38th (Bras de Pina) and 39th (Pavuna) po-
lice precincts were mobilized. Civil police assigned 40 men to the Vigario Geral
squatter settlement alone, where they made 50 arrests and seized the weapons, all
of them found outside the shanties: as they climbed the hill and word of their
= presence spread, the weapons began to appear along the road.
The Military Police assigned to the raid soldiers and officers from different bat-
talions located in the area to be investigated, so as not to weaken any one bat-
~ talion excessively. According to the Safety Secretariat's office, combined opera-
tions--which are lilcely to take p13ce more frequently--are much more efficient,
"because civilian and military police acting together, side by side, are better
able to make investigations on the spot: the suspect is searched, he is asked for =
his identification papers, he is examined to see whether he has supicious tattoo-
ing or injection marks on the arms and, if everything is all right, he is freed im- _
mediately, thus reducing the ensuing work of investigating those arrested."

CAMPO GRAPIDE, CORUMBA COCAINE SEIZURES WORTH CR$ 80 M[LLION
Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese 21 Feb 81 p 6
[Text] Campo Grande--During the last 20 days the Federal Police Department in Mato
Grosso,do Sul seized more than 24 kilograms of pure cocaine worth about 80 million
cruzeiros, in Campo Grande and Corumba.
The latest seizure was 4.8 kilograms carried by two Bolivian couples who were get-
ting ready to board at the Corumba Airport during the morning of the day before yes-
terday for a trip to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
Federal police did not divulge the names of the traffickers because they found some
names and telephone numbers in their ~ossession. The women were carrying more than
3 kilograms of cecaine in plastic bags fastened to their stomachs with adhesive
tape, giving them an appearance of being pregnan~. The men were carrying the drug
in small packages attached to their legs with adhesive tape.
According to police, the seized drugs are worth about 18 million cruzeiros, because
in the consuming market pure cocaine is diluted by a mixture of talcum powder and -
baking soda in the proportion of 1 kilogram of the drug for 3 kilograms of the
mixture.
- Record
The biggest capture made thus far by the federal police in this.state was about 13
_ kilograms, also found at the Corumba Airport~. The trafficker, however, managed to
escape the police net. -
About 250 kilograms of cocaine smuggled out of Bolivia passes through Corumba an-
nually to supply the Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo ma~kets. The seizures in recent
days, however, are a record for the federal police, who in previous years managed
to prevent only 17 kilograms from entering the drug-consuming market.

EXCOMMUNICATION OF SAM1'ER PIZANO DEMANDID
Bogota EL TIEhIPO in Spanish 18 Feb 81 p 3-A
'[Text] The National Antidrug Commission wh~ch has been formed here announced yes-
terday that among other things it is seeking "excommunication by the Catholic Church
of Samper Pizano (Ernesto) for promoting the legalization of narcotics."
The sanction was called for in a report on how the U.S. National Antidrug Commission
succeeded in frustrating an attempt by the International Alliance for the Reform of
Marihuana Laws (ICAR) to acquire representation in the United Nations through the
Council of Nongovernment Observers.
The Colombian Coalition is issuing bulletins on its own letterhead as the "organiz-
ing committee," and its address is two airmail post office boxes and a telephone
number.
ICAR
The so-called International Alliance for the Reform of Marihuana Laws has operated
for several years on the international level and has become a defender of marihuana,
calling it a simple "recreational drug" which sooner or later will be legalized.
_ ICAR has organized, especially in Europe and most particularly�in Rome, impressive
demonstrations of support for legalization of the drug, a high percentage of which
is produced clandestinely in Colombia to supply markets for its use and abuse.
United Nations
There is in the United Nations an agency called the Council of Nongovernment Observ-
ers, which has semiofficial status and is made up of 13 members from as many coun-
tries; its chief goal is the study of all facets of the drug cartel.
ICAR has been negotiating discreetly and subtly with the council to accept a repre-
sentative of the alliance as a member, alleging that participation by such a member
could be very useful for world observation and study concerning marihuana and its
derivatives.
Re3ected
The U.S. Antidrug Coalition became aware of the motives of the a1l.iance and immedi-
ately began a campaign to have it re~ected by the U.N. council.

Allen Sallisburry, spokesman for the alliance [as published] in the United States, _
reported that the council, by a decision of its 13 members, had rejected the alli-
- ance on the ground that its goals "are not compatible with those of the United
Nations . "
The news bulletin indicates that Sallisburrq, learning of the outcome, added that -
- "Colombia supplies 80 percent of the marihuana and cocaine which are destroying the
minds of our youth. Therefore we shall ask President Reagan to negotiate treaties
with other governments, such as the FRG and France, and with leaders of the Third
World, like Mexico and India, so that sanctions may be imposed against any govern-
- ment which tolerates the drug traffic. This will solve the problem of Samper Pizano
and his friends, but the treaty will also include aid f or economic development f or
any country which commi.ts itself to stopping the traffic as well as to helping to
exercise vigilance over the narcotics cartel."
The foregoing reference is to Ernesto Samper Pizano, p resident of the National Asso-
ciation of Colombian Financial Institutions, who, first on the national and then on
rh~_ international level, has been advocating the legalization of marihuana.
).t was to him also that reference was made in asking that he be excommunicated, say-
ing that "now that even the United Nations itself has rejected Samper Pizano's ef- -
- forts, the Colombian Antidrug Coalition announces that it will increase its efforts
to have the Catholic Church exco~mmunicatQ Samper Pizano for promoting the Iegaliza-
tion of narcotics."
