~g~inst th~ form~r directdr of Denpasar prisnn ~t ~ session of tih~
Denpa~s~r State Court ~n Mand~y.
Accord3ng td the prosec:utar, the accused and nthers cttused the escape of
bonald Andrew Ahern and David A].lan Riffe, putting Indones3.a in a bad ~.ight,
national~.y and internat3.onally, with regard to the government's intention to
enforce 3ts laws. .
The prosecutor stated that the aCCUSed moved Davi.d A11an Riffe from Denpasar
Prison to Karu.ngsem Prison, and instructed I Nyoman Susanta, the acting
d~.rector of Karangsem Prisan, to trect David we11.
According to the prosecutor, based on these instructic~ns, David was a~te to
come and go w3thout supervision, and was allowed to have a Honda motorcrcle
for his own use. The accused PB also placed the prisoner, Donald, in a
special room outside the walls of Denpasar Prison, where the accused and his
family lived, and withQUt supervision of Denpasar Prison authorities.
The accused also permii;ted Donald to come and go as he felt necessary, with-
out supervision. Donal.d also visited David in Karangsem Prison; and 7.eft to ~
- ~o shopping; to ~o to L-he telephone office; and for Indonesian State Bank 46,
where he had an account. The prisoner also went to the Bali Beach Hotel in
Sanur, to thc coast of Kuta, and traveled from Gianjar Kelungkung to Besakih
in Karangsem.
Moreover, according to the prosecutor, the accused permitted Donald to use
the telephone in the accused's home to call his friends outside the country.
_ Besides the primary charge of involvement in the escape of the two convicted
criminals, the prosecutor leveled a second charge against PB, in his capacity
as a state official.

(T~x~) Po13ce Li~utenant Colon~l Dr Soeprapto, ch3ef (sic] of Znformation,
Po~ic~ ~tegion 2X, Centrt~l. J~va, told the press 3.n Semarang 1.ast Monday that
State Pol.ice of
Kegion IX had arrest~d ~'ive morphine a~d3.ets and ~an~a smokers
in Semar~ng and Jogyakarta.
_ Repnrtedl.y, the three ~rrested in ~he Jo~yakarta area included D.A.L., an
Australian na~3ona1, age 24, who had entered Indonesia as a tourist on a
nwnber of occas3ons; Miss AF, 23, a New Zealand national; and an Indonesian
eitizen named DSW.
State Police confiscated five rolls of gan~a and four packages of morphine
from the three, as we11 as several cigarettes conta3.ning gan~a. Both foreign
nationals are currently being held for investigation at Police Region IX
heudquarters.
Accor.ding to Police Lieutenant Colonel Soeprapto, Miss D.A.L. is known to
have been acquainted with Miss AF in Jakarta. Miss AF was romantically
involved with DSW; the two planned to ma.rry in December.
c~Liss D.A.L. said she bought the ganja from a foreigner in Jakarta for 34,000
rupiahs. According to Lieutenant Colonel Soeprapto, the State Police launched
u thorough inve~tigati.on into the possibility that a narcotics syndicate is
opcrating in Central Java.
Meanwhile, the two men arrested in Semarang, presumably for heavy smoking of
~an,ja and other morphine possession, are named OGG and Hn. The two are in
custody.

OPIUM SEIZED IN RIAU ISLANDS--Police in Area Command 404, Riau Islands, ~
seized 4 kg of opium from a foreign national in Meral, Tanjungbalai Ka.rimun '
Subdistrict, Riau Islands last September. Lieutenant Colonel Soehardi, �
commander of Area Com�nand ~+04, told the press in Pakanbaru that the narcotics
were seized due to cooperation between the police and authorities in
Tan,jungbalai Karimun. Coincidentally, Operation Badai was in progress there,
so that the case can be handled further by the Operation Badai task force. '
According to 3oehardi, the narcotics seizure stemmed from information that ~
someone wanted to sell k~; of narcotics for 14 million rupiahs. The police ,
tracked this lead drnan, and eventually arrested the seller. The evidence was '
confiscated and stored by the police. However, the primary figure--the awner �
of the narcotics--has not yet been arreste~. The person now in custody is
only a pusher, who will be used as an informant, Soehardi revealed. The '
narcotics will soon be sent to Mabak Laboratory in Jakarta. [Text] [Jakarta

S~ItI0U5 NA1tCOTICS ADDICTION AMONG U.S. FORCES NOTED
Peking NINA nomeatic Sarvice fn Chineae 1413 GMT 8 Dec 78 OW
(TexC~ Peking, 8 Dec--The problem of narcoCics addiction among U.S.
soldiera has recenCly again aroused concern and di~cusaions among a11
ciralee in the Unitad States. A report publiahed recently in the U.S.
13~WS & WO1tLD R~pORT pointed out that "the U.S. Armed F'orces are launching
a new fight againgt an old enemy" and that this enemy is none other than
heroin, cocaine, marihuana and ampheCaminea. An investigation report pub- -
liahed by the U.S. Defenae Department indicated that there are 210,000
army soldiers who either occasionally or pereiatenCly smoke marihuana,
which accounta for approximately one-third of the total number of army
personnel. In the army, 8 percent of the soldiers admitted that they are
sCrong narcotic~ addicts, while in the navy, 40 percent of the sailora
under 25 amoke marihu~na.
Membera of the U.S. Congress have held that Che figures published by the
Defense Department following ita investigation "were only a part of the
facts."
A former White House official reaponsible for handling the problem of
narcotics addiction pointed out that the number of addicts in the U.S.
forces stationed overaeas is increasing rapidly and that the number of
U.S. Army soldiers stationed in Europe whn died of overdoses in 1977 was
50 percent greater than in 1976. House Representative Glenn English,
after heading a 12-day investigaCion visit to West Germany with four oCher
House of Representatives members, pointed out in early December that
between 20 and 30 percent of the troops in some U.S. forces units sta-
tioned in West Germany persistently use heroin and thaC between 80 and 90
percent of th~ troops in some other units persistently smoke marihuana.
The rapid increase in the number of narcotics addicts among U.S. soldiers -
has aroused anxiety among political circles. They are worried that nar-
cotics addiction among military personnel will not only result in in~uries
and deaths but also seriously affect the preparedness of the armed forces.

CONTROL BOARD HEAD WA1tN5, SOME POLICE BCCOMTNG ADDZCTS
Bangkok NATION REVI~W in ~;nglish 15 Dec 78 pp 1, 8 BK
~Article by Vithoon Pungprasert in Udon Thani]
[7'ext] Narcotic addic~ion hns 3.nfiltrated the ranks of policemen fighting
in sensitive areas, according Co Police rta~ Gen Pow Sarasin, Secretary Gen-
eral of the Office of Narcotic Control Board.
He reported that in Amphoe Nakae of Nakhon Panom Province another sensitive
area, 15 policemen were reported to have been addicted to drugs. -
"In a spect.al action Cask force comprising 23 members, 15 of them were s~~id _
to be drug addicts. And in the Border Patrol Police force, 15 have turned
addicts," he reportPd.
The problem of law-enforcement officials falling prey to drugs, he said,
could not be left unattended to.
"Some of the addicted policemen get wild hallucinations. They shoot at
others a.nd hurl bombs at them because they think somebody was going to at-
tack them," Police Maj Gen Pow said.
He also said drug traffickers had fled into insurgent-infested areas in a new
trend indicating collusion between narcotic traffickers and insurgents.
"Nobody had thought about this before but the link-up between drug traffick-
ers and insurgents t~as now emerged," Police Maj Gen Pow told a sem.inar on
drug suppression for the Northeast here earlier this week.
"In Nakhon Panom province, for example, marijuana j.s being planted in insur-
bent-infested areas. They are seeking protection from Che insurgents against
Policemen," Police Maj Gen Pow said.
He was addressing a five-day seminar attended by all top administrative and
pol.ice officers in the Northeastern provinces.

The DC-3, with registraCion number 407-X, landed at ehe "Ernesto Cortissoz"
International Airport ae 2130 hours on 5aCurday night, when a CorrenCial
rain was falling nn ehe area.
The three crewmen, who did not notify the control tower, were immediaCely

When arrested, the three individuals claimed to have left�Florida bound for ~
Curacao, and to have lost their way, and said Chat Chey were forced to make
an emergency landin~; at the "Ernesto Cortissoz" Airport.
OFficial sources said that they consisted of a gringo, a Cuban and a Colom-
bian, the latter two n.~turalized in the United SCates; but that it was im-
possible to establish their identities accurately, because none of them

' 'I'roops from the 5econd [3rigade retrieved a large amounC of ammunition from

At tlie northern air base, it was said thaC this may possibly have been a

'FRENCH CONNECTION' TRAFFICKERS EXTRAbITED
Bogota EL TIEMPO in Spanish 15 Nov 78 Sec A pp 1, 6
- [Texr] The Colombian Government will turn over to the French courts I:wo no-
eorious Marseilles "Apaches" who axe clos~ly linked with the "French Connec-
tion" in which the criminal Laurent Fiocconi, who escaped from the La Picota -
prison when he was about to be exCxadited, was also a key figure.
They are Rachib Charbi, alias Michel Goiffon, and Roger Bocognani, alias Max
Albert Sibon, concerning whom the Supreme CourC of Justice decided yesterday _
Co issue a favorable op3nion with regard to carrying out the extradition
requested by Che French courts.
The former of the aforementioned individuals is incarcerated in the central
prison, and his health has been ruined by acute pulmonary tuberculosis.
- The latter was apprehended by officials from the DAS [AdminisCrative Depart- -
ment of Security] in July of last year, but obtained his release, a favor
conferred upon him by Maria Eugenla Rivera de Caicedo, while she was serving
as fourth judge of the BogoCa penal circuit court.
Charbi and Bocognani were members of the fabulous Mafia organization which,
some years ago, brought thousands of kilograms of heroin to the United States
from France, using the most daring and sophisticates devices for deception
and bribery. The American and French authorities, in a skillfully combined
operation, managed to disband the criminnl organizaCion which is tradition-
- ally known as the "French Connection."
Likewise a member of the complex ring was Laurent Fiocconi, who like the oth-
er two "Apaches" sought refuge in Colombia, but was discovered here, and has
~ been in custody until the government of our country ordered his extradition,
when the drug tra�ficker escaped from ~ail with several sinister kidnappers.
- France had also requested that Colombia grant the extradition of Bocognani
- and Charbi to comply with the international warrant for their arrest issued
by the Marseilles courts. In accordance with court procedure, the Ministry -
of Justice address~d the court to request its decision on the viability of
_ the extradition. The body, through studies made by Magistrates Alvaro Luna
Gomez and Jesus Bernal Pinzon, found in favor of the surrender of the two
criminals.

(Text] Sarranquilla, 9 November--During the past 8 days, 28 ships, three sma11 ~
planes and six individuals have been apprehended in this capital by forces of ~
the 5econd Brigade for violaCion o.~ territorial seas and airways. ;
The foregoing measure was enacted in compliance with Decree 2144 of 4 October ~
1978, which authorized the initiaCion of the security measures called for in
the staCute of the same tiCle, the purpose of which is Co curb Che drug Craf- ~
fic between Colombia and Che United States. ~
~
The ships are located in Che yards locaCed at Che mouth of the Magdalena Ri- ,
ver, one at Siape, which is part of 8ocas de Ceniza, and another ad3acent to ~
the Esso station close to the maritime terminal.
The small aircraft are at Che "Ernesto Cortissoz" International AirporC and,
like the ships, they are under constant guard by members of the Second Bri-
gade.
Of the six persons arrested, it was established that some had already under-
gone questioning by the secretary of the deparemental governmenC, Roberto .
Velez Estrada, as stipulated in the Security Statute. This decree sCates
that aircraft or sea-going craft which is seized by the miliCary forces is
to be placed at the.disposal of the governor of the respective department
who. in collaboration with the sectional government secretary, will decide ~
upoii tlte status oI the latter and of its owners, representatives or indivi-
duals who are aboard at the time of the seizure.
Ilowever, it was .znnounced that the 31 ships are under precautionary seizure,
inasmucli as, to date it has proven impossible to prove any connection ~aith
dr~ig trafCicking, and they are at the disposal o� the law because they lack
_ a ftight plan or speci�ic route, as the case may be.

municipal public ~ail, Felix Ochoa Barron, and former warden Juan Jose Ro-
chin Sanchez, as well as Che accusation made by Che Federal Public Ministry
againsC him, naming him as an ~.ndiv3.dua1 presumed guil~y of crimes of drug
trafficking and escape of prisoners.
During the hearing, Rafael Tirado Canizales refused to answer any questions
asked of him, after having received advice from his lawyers. _
No direct charge against the former municipal presidenC appears in the sCaee-
ments made by prisoners Felix Ochoa Barron and Juan Jose Rochin Sanchez on
25 January 1978. .
The hearing ended at about 1300 hours and the prisoner was immediately moved
back to the ~ail where he was confined.
The defenders of the former municipal president, Carlos Boutier, Francisco
Damken, Guillermo Osuna Guerrero and Jesus Arnoldo Millan, stated at the
end of the proceedings that this is a case wherein the charges brought
against him are only indirect.
They also pointed out that the quest~ons asked by the agent of the Federal
I'ublic Min~stxy of the .~ormex muni.cipal pxesident, which he re~used to an-
swer, were all impxoper.
During this period o~ hearings, which ends on Friday morning at about 1300
hours, all the evidence necessary to prove that the municipal president is
in no way associated with drug trafficking nor with the escape of inmates
.a from the municipal ~ail will be provided.

- PSYCHOTROPIC PTLLS CONFISCATED FROM TWO TRAFFICKERS ~
Nuevo Laredo EL DIARIO DE NUEVO LAREDO in Spanish 6 Nov 78 Sec B p 6 ~
, ;
[TextJ A large number of toxic pills were found in the possession of the ad-
- dict Hector Gonzalez Arredondo, who was under investigation by the State
Judicial Police y~esterday.
Gonzalez Arredondo was arrested after the Judicial Police had been asked for ;
assistance, since he was beating his url.fe and had "barricaded" himself in ;
� ~ his residence.
Judicial Police forces raided Hector Gonzalez Arredondo's residence, and ar- '
rested him. They made a superficial search of the inside of the house, and ~
found a plastic bag containing about 100 toxic pills known as "optalidon" i
and "neopercodan." ; _
Gonzalez Arredondo said that he was addicted to psychotropic drugs, and that ~
he wanted the pills for his personal use, but upon being quesCioned closely !
he changed hia story, and explained that someone had turned them over to ~
~
him. i
i
Gon2alez Arredondo named an individual who was arrested by the Federal Judi- I
cial Police at the end of the week, from whom heroin and peyote had been ~
confiscated. ~
i
The Judicial Police concluded that Gonzalez Arredondo was placing the blame
on the other person in order to avoid the action of justice. He is presumed
- to have engaged in selling psychotropic drugs and, yesterday afternoon they
intended to search his resi.dence again in the event that there mi~ht be more
toxic pills or other kinds of drugs there.
At the time o~ his arrest, Hector Gonzalez Arredondo was completely under ! r
the in~luence o~ drugs. ;
- "La Carioca" Was Carrying 90 Pills
Agents from the Police Investigation Section confiscated 90 apparently toxic
pills known as"neopercodan" from the notorious addict, Mario Alvarado Ser- _

ARREST OF TWO HEROIN TRAFFICKERS IN TIJUANA REPORTED
Ciudad Juarez EL FRONTERIZO in Spanish 12 Nov 78 Sec B p 11
[Text] T3.~uana, Ba~a C~ili~ornia, 11 November--The Federal Judicial Police ~
dealt a blow to organized crime when they arrested two persons who had in ;
their possession 7 kilograms and 200 grams of zop quality heroin, and 15
kilograms o� cut heroin, ready for sale to presumably American purchasers. ,
The foregoing announcement was made by Che regional coordinator of the anti-
drug campaign in the norChwest, Carlos Aguilar Garza, who e~plained that the
individuals in custody gave their names as Ramon Donato Beltran, alias "Nato," '
aged 43 and a native of Sinaloa residing in this city, and his accomplice, '
Pablo Olguin, aged 33, a resident of Plazas de Rosarito, Ba~a California. ~
-
According to the information that was obtained, during the investigation to
detect the smugglers, the Federal Judicial Police learned thaC Ramon Donato ;
Beltran intended to make a sale of drugs in the northern zone; and therefore ~
they kepC surveillance over him for several days until he was finally arrest- '
ed. When he realized that he had been caught, he informed on his accomplice ~
and led the Federal Police, headed by Comdr Clemente Moreno, to Rancho Ala- ~
- milla, located 30 kilometers from Tijuana, where they had set up a clandes- '
tine laboratory and mixed the drugs. ;
On that location, the suspects had their own equipment for cutting the drugs,
such as acetone, trays, flasks, acids and a precision scale. After the Fe-
deral Police had confiscated the drugs, it was estimated that, if they had
reached the black market, the drug traffickers would have earned a minimum '
of 22 million pesos.

Ciudad Juarez EL I~'RONTERIZO in Spanish 25 Oct 78 pp 1, 4
[TextJ Last nighe, Nativida~l Jasso, alias "E1 Naty," was arrested by Federal '
Judicial Police agents, ~p~arently on Cfie basis o~ a warrant for his arrest
- issued by the second distr~.cC court over 3 months ago. -
- The reporC, which was learned uno~fic~all}r, was con~irmed by police officials
of local .forces, since the entire pers~onnel o~ Che rederal Judicial Police
and I~'ederal Public Ministry~, though not denying it, refused to confirm it.
It was also confirmed that his residence was searched by Federal Judicial Po- '
_ lice agents, apparently in an attempt to Pind drugs; but the results of the ,
search are nct known. .
Gonzalez Jasso, who is legally a�ugitive, was in one of his business estab-
lishments yesterday afternoon, as he is every day, regardless of the warrant ~
ror his arrest issued by representatives of the Federal Judicial Authority.
He was arrested upon leaving that place of business on Mejia Street. It is
notknown in which official department he is being held. .
= The Federal Judicial Police guard, who refused to identify himself, said
that he "did not know anything, and had not heard about anything." ~
When located during the night, Norberto Salinas Navarrete, the Federal Public
riinistry agenC, said that, owing to the work schedule, it was up to the as- _
sistant agent, Sanchez Gaytan, to be informed of whether or not Gonzalez Jas-
so was arrested, and that he of course had no in~ormation.
The warrant .fox the arrest of Gonzalez Jasso resulted fxom the arrest of one
o� his sons o~ the same name, who had a shipment of marihuana i.n his posses-
sion at the Futurama parking lot.

The foregoing was learned .~rom the report provided by the present Federal

and Gonzalez Perea are in custody, while Natividad Gonzalez Jr, in whose
residence at 2560 La Raza Avenue, the shipment seized the nighC before last
was discovered, is still at large.
The police chief conPirmed the rumors, which were an open secret years ago, _
- that all the Gonzalezes, from grandEaChers ro sons to grandsons, have been
involved in drug tra~Picking in one way or another. -
Yesterday afrexnoan, the two prisoners were mak~.ng statements in writing for
Che Federal Judicial Police. As o~ 1430 hours, they were not yet placed at
the disposal of the Federal Public Ministry.
Commander Radilla Gallardo reported that bo~h faCher and son denied owning
the confiscated drugs; but said that they belonged to "little Naty."
The police chief said that Gonzalez Jasso and Gonzalez Perea were certainly
- arrested upon arriving at Naty Jr's house ~ust when it was b~ing searched
by the police and when the drugs were discovered,
He said: "But we had information beforehand that they were all engaged in
trafficking, including Natividad Jr, who was arrested a short time ago in
the state capital for the possession of a shipment of drugs."
Yesterday aFternoon, prominent Juarez attorneys tried Co talk with the Gon-
zalezes, but the Federal Judicial Police apparently did not allow them to
do so .
Yesterday, an old warrant for arrest for the crime of fraud issued against
J. Natividad Gonzalez Jasso by the third judge of the penal court in the
city of Chihuahua was unearthed.
Inexplicably, that order, which was ~ssued on 30 June 1975 pxecisely, had
not been cax'ried out by the police, and nothing was known about it until
yesterday, when "Naty" Gonzalez was arrested for crimes against health.
The State Jud;icial Police commander, Manuel Humberto Blanco Erives, said
- that the arrest warrant in question had not been sent here until the day
before yesterday for implementation by the State Public rlinistry agent

~cams were se~.z~d this year, 40 of which at Roisey Airport last 4 July,5
There too, the emall trafFiekere realized the profits they could ma.ke from
thie trade.
_ HoWaver, ah~le this ateady increase and the eatablishment of this "ant"
traffi~ are troublesome, the spread of drug abuse throu~iout the country
disturbs the authoriti~g. This aort of banalization of drug addiction,,
ahi~h affeetg v311ag+es ao well.as medium-eized cities, the well-to-do as
well ae the auburban poor, is not very reassuring, It ie a si~ that people
are being proselytized. And while we are no long~er living in the time of
the "~'~rench Connection," when, as a Marseilles policeman says, "all we ha.d
to do to arrest ~unkies and round off the fi,gures used in the sta.tietics was
to bend down," this na.tion-wide diff~aion of an activity until nox aoncen-r
rated in certain big cities deserves our investigation into the underlyin~;
causes of the evil, 4'he individuals who deal with th~ addicts themselves
e~y that these are no longer the same as before. Before, they were "mar~.nal
types," re3ecting society, very familiar with drugs. Today, it can be ar~�-
body, which could explain the fatal accidents.
How can We avoid thi~ slow difflision and steady increase in use? The 200--odd
Freneh policemen specialized in the ff~t against drug ab~se with whom thc~
five Americans from the DEA from time to time collabora.te have their hancts
flill.. In Marseilles Commissioner Berna.rd Gravet, who leads the 50 poli.:eLien
of the na.rcotica equad, says: "We keep up the pressure, but if we let up for
a single moment, all hell breaks loose," To confuse the traffickers, the
police turn themselvee into buyers, with amall-time dealers moat often w3nd-
ing up caught in the trap, The ~unkies too, sincE they are often forced t;o
coaanit petty crimes in order to get the money they need to b~r drugs~

~n Turkey, whose morphine base supplied Marseillea laboratoriea in the 1970".s~
after having banned this crop in 1972, the authoritie~ 2 years later again
permitted i~s cultivation under certain aonditions. Farmers no longer have
the righ~ ~o cut o~,an the ca.p~u].es. The plant (papaver orienta~.e) is nort ~
processed in factori.es. For the time being, there is no evidence of a~y ~
sidetraaking. But the danger ig real, Qapecially when we add to.Turkey the
other Middle ~ast countries whtch, according to Mr Le Mouel, constitute
~~an enormous raw mater7al potential." In Pakiatan 111ega1 produation is
estimated at 200 ~ona.
Along with Af~hanista~n and, to a lesser ~dethe ScaricLinaviancco
ttrieacalone
stitute a serious clan~er. West GermanY
axe at the momen~ sariously affected by this drug coming in f'rom the Middle
Ea,st, which in these countries tends to replace shipments from Southeast
Aaia. Especially in the FRG, the percentag~e of heroin addicts between the
ages of 12 and 16, whiah are included among the country~s 50,000 addicts,
has gone frnm zero to 20 percent in 3 yeaxs, according to Mr Berndt-Georg
The,mm, a Berlin expert. Overdose viatims, which amounted to 39o in 1977, ,
should come to close to 500 this year.
According to Mr Thomas Cash, a repreaentative of the German narcotics ~
bureau, this atate of affaira is reminiscent of the une the United States
went through between 19b6 and 1976. ~~ah workers, living in the FRG - ,
1.2 million of them axe the chief purveyors of drugs. They bring in
heroin in emall quantities. , .
For the moment, ~~ance is atill but little affected by this white tide,
But the threat from the Middle East is not an empty one, Last 5 February
Marseilles police discrntered a laboratory for the conversion of morp
~ne~
base into heroin in a villa near La Ciotat on the road to Ceyreste.
~equipment was readY for operat3.on. This resulted in the seizure of 35 ~
of morphi.ne base that incontesta.bly came from the Middle East. Five people �
were arreated, including Louis Giralt, suspected of being the promoter and
financial backer. Last Friday 8 December, a restaurant owner, Fr3ncis
Alixianos, who is alleged to have passed money obtained from trafficking in
drugs, wae also apprehended in Marseilles,
So we can see ~`ha.t the "French Connection" is still on the verge of being
reinsta.ted, Obviously, this is a fax cry from the seizure of the ship~
~~Caprice des Temps" (425 ~~'of heroin seized) and the big operations of the
laboratories tha,t were di.smantled in the 1970~s, All we need do to show this
to be the case is to compare the equipment found last Februa.ry at T~a Ciotat
with tha,t found in Henri Mal.ve~zi's villa at Bouc-Bel-Air in Bouches-du-Rhone
in 1976.

~R~~.rt by J~n Andpr~~nJ
[~'ext~ Bergen, 7 Deeemb~r - A 20-y~~r-~ld m~n from St~v~n~er who
has ~ived in B~rg~n ~dr the last y~~r was s~nt~nced in Gul~ting
efreuit court `fhursd~y to S y~~rs' uncdnditional impri~onment
~ften c~ w~~ found buil~y 6f ~PO~@SS~Ofl~1 smuggling and sal~ of
fli1TCt1t~C5. This is ~he h~aviest sefltence y~t in ~ narcotics
c~s~ in West Norw~y. Th~ man h~s appe~led to the Supreme Court
on thc fixing of thc s~ntence.
The enurt found tho 20-y~ar-o1d guilty of bringing intn the country
2.3 kilograms of h~shish, ?.5 kilogr~rtw of cannabis oil, and about 200 LSD
tubl~ts. Also, pur~h~s~ of 3 kilogr~ms of hushish from two D~nish citizens.
Gne o~ these will have his case he~rd in Cidsivating circuit court this
coming Monday. Uenmark has asked th~t the other be returned, since there
is a stronger penalty for sale of narcotic$ in Norway than in Denmark.
Host of the s~lling of the narcotics took place on ~ farm ~t Lind�as, just _
outsidc of Bcrgen. 'I`he tot~l sales value was about 400,U00 kron~r. 'I'he
:~uthoritics sei2ed 102,000 kron~r in the case, which they think is the yield
from tl~c sule of arcotics.
ln jutitifying the hcuvy penulty, the court laid weight on the rrofessional
~}~~ru~tcr of tl~r case. 1'he dCfcndant was believed to be the second in c~m-
mand in the gnng; thc to>> man w~s also from 5tavanger, but died in prison
rnrlier this ye~r.
'11~c l~;iahisli ~nd the cannabis oil were smuggled into Non~ray in sherry bottles.
'I'hc defend~nt hnJ bccn abroad und smugglcd in drugs three times. The court
also pointcd out that the opcration involvcd sccret places in and outside of
~erg~n whcre thc narcotics wcre stored. Hidden secret rooms, cover apaM-
ments, ~nd false drivcr's licenscs also figured in the casc.

CT~xt) T'he po~ice announcem~ne y~see~day ~ras brie�. A 26-year-old man ~
had eutn~d on the ~as in hi~ apartment near th~ xoo aud had killed himaelf. '
'1'hen tha etatistic: T1iis was ehe SOth drug victim in Berlin. At the same ;
time a 22-year-old driver cau~ed a~erious traffic accident on 3achendamm
in which four p~r~ons ~erQ injured. The drivar was under the influance of ;
drugs. TWO announcements and a ggd landmark in a city wh~.ch leads all ;
1arge citi~g in the Federal Republic in the number of drug victims. However
a glirtnner of hope can be seen: The number of drug victims has~dropped. It i
is noa almost 20 fewer than d~ring a simi~ar Cime period last year. In 1977 i
Berlin held the record: 84 drug users ended their contact ~aith narcotics
aitl~ death. '
Degpair over his drug d~pend~ncy drove the SOth narcotica victim to suicide. ~
Nis nctivities during the past feW years are noted in a thick report at the
Criminal Poliee Station. Born in Berlin, he came into contact with drugs as ~
an adolescent. He has been known to the narcotics division since 1971, when
the classic irresigtible course began. It started with hash amoking, which ~
soon became habitual. Next folloWed LSD. ~urther on the way to hard drugs, '
he injected himself with diluted raw opium and then advanced Co the Berlin
tinke, a mixture of morphine base, acetic acid and "more or leas" (according
ta the criminal polic~) di~tilled water, a mixture "almost as hard as her-
uin," ns drug experts know.
incrcaaed use and harder drugs forced him to look for money; in the meantime
he had given up teachiag. Then began his career as a narcotics dealer. In
September ~974, he came to trial for rhe first time. B~cause of continuous
itlnsal trafficking of. Aerlin tinke he was sentencecl to a year's probation.
Howaver, [he measures of all of society's caurts failed in his case.
5carcely 2 years later because of his own use and tra~ficking in drugs a
court sentenced him to a prison term of 1 year and 4 months to be spent in
the judicial executive installatio~n at Tegel.

D~cember 1977 he bruughe hero3n back with him to thg prison and ~.njeceed
himgelf i.n tihe prieon's own carpen~er ghop whera he was being tra~.ne!~ ~s
~ c~rpent~r. After hig rele~se ~.n May of this year, the end was marked
our. In July he atCraceed th~ pol~.ce's attientiion a~ a pnrtic~pane in a

IC i~ unusual Chnt ~ drug addict would commit suicide. This was also con-
firm~d by eh~ ~erlin Sec?at~'s drug agent Heckmann. ~ven the "golden shot,"
th~ volunt~ry ov~rdose Cdt19@9 only g Chird of ehe deaths. The overwhelming
ma~oriCy eE drug vic:eims di~ uninCenCionally. "An accidenC," says Heckmann,
"which c~n happ~n t~~ any narcotics user, be ie after 1 or afCer 5 years."
For acCu~lly, uncert~inty ~baut ehe concentrgtinn of ehe drug leads eo the
lasC shot. brug ~gent Hpckmann in this way partially explains ehe high
number of deaths l~st ye~r. In ehe fir~t montih of 1977 a changeover took
place nn Che Berlin drug markeC. Durgs were na longer coming from Che Far
~ast by w~y ~f Am~Cerdam bue from Turkey over the Bglkans. llrug related
deaChs rose substantially, because no fixer knew what concentration he was
in3ecting. ~In addition, no one knew Co what exCenC Che long chain of deal-
ers h~d diluCed rhe drugs.
Thirty brug ~mergencies a Month
The Criminal police ~,lso atCribute the reduced number of drug victims to
incrensed in~eruction in schools, enterprises and in the media. The further
education oE doctors has also borne fruiC. The number of drug accidents in-
dicates this. On the average, 30 drug addicts are brought to the Berlin
clinic each month because of acute danger. Since the beginning of the year
that amount~ to 300: Opposed to this is the number of 50 dead. Drug ex-
perCs also recommend tliaC anyone who discovers a possible acute drug emer-
gency, which can be indicated by difficulty in breathing or unconsciousness,
should immediately call the fire departmenC or an ambulance. In no case
~ should one try rescue me~sures himself.
rlost Dangerous After Withdrawal
The risk of death is greatesC for addicts who have withdrawn for a short
time. Heckmann, in connection with this, mad~ an appeal to all parents
fnced with the problem not Co undertake withdrawal attempts with their
cliildren by themselves. When someone has withdrawn from drugs for a few
days ~nd then has the opportunity again for a fix, his chances for a final
stiot are extremely liigh.
This yc.~r Berltn is spending an additional DM 8.6 million to try to come
to grips with the problems. The number of deaths has indeed dropped,

(Text~ The Turkish sal~gman MehmeC Sarac (49) hoped to mak~ a profie of ~
DM 100,000 from the s~l~ of 2 kilos of heroin which he says he brought ~
back with him from ~ulgaria to Munich in June on behalf of an unknown j
peraian. Unfortunaeely the~receiver turned outi to be the commisaioner of ~
the Bavarian Criminal Division (LKA). Becauge Chis was the largest amount ~
of heroin to hnve surfttced in Buvaria up until now, the l7th Criminal Court i
of the Munich County Court I sentenced Sarac to the maximum sentence of 10 f
years for illegal drug traff3cking. ~
The elegantly tailored suit which the accused from Stadelheim wore in court ~
gave him the flair of a well-situated businessman of international style. ~
He did noC deny the chargea--possibly because this would be uselesa, con- i
sidering the evidence. ~
According to him, he hgd transporCed the drug from Sofia for a Persian. '
That did not appear very credible to the court, but it could not be re-
futed--since it could not be proven. When he arrived in Munich with the
"stuff," the LKA had already received a tip. A commissioner came forward ;
as an apparent buyer and met with Sarac at noon on 19 June at Kaiser Lud-
wi~ Place. Sarac was to hand over to him exactly 2 kilos of stuff with 85
percent purity for DM 160,000. The accused could of course no longer poc-
ket the hoped for profit since he was arrested during the close of the
transaction. '
Stuff ror 120,000 Shots
The court calculaCed that the amount of the drug confiscated in the take could
c~.nsil.y be cii?utecl Co double because of its excellent quality and would be suffi-
cient for 1.20,000 "st~oes." The maximum sentence was therefore imposed, with
Ci~ief Justice Josef Peter 5toschek indicating that in view of the quantity and
the dan~erousness aE lieroin, IO years was actually too few. The accused could
r.rnmt himself lucky that he did not have to answer for the crime in his native
country, where he would have been threatened with a life sentence if not with
the death penalty. The court would have been able to pronounce a lesser sen-
tence, if the accused had named his accomplices, but he did not do so.

- COCAINE DEALi:R ARR~ST~D--This weekend invesCigators from the Bavarian crim-
inal d~.visi~n confisca~ed around 200 grama of cocaine with a street value
of approximately DM 100,000 and arresCed the seller, Hans Dieter B. (26)
and t~e potenCi~l buyer Harald St. (24). The 26-year-old has been known
to the police for yearg a~ a~narcotics dealer. He had worked as a re-
Cailer, offering what was in demand aC the moment, from hash Co LSD.
During Che past few weeks he had been looking in a discotheque in the
train station area for a buyer for cocaine, which supposedly had ~ust been
flown in from Boliv3a. He was followed for several days and �inally ar-
' resCed in front of a dep~remenC store in Swabing as he was trying to pass
the package with the drug to the prospective buyer, Harald St. Cocaine was
. last confiscated in Munich 2 years ago. At that time it was a question of
1.5 kilos, worth about a million marks. As Konrad Beer, chief of the crim-
inal counseZ of the Land criminal division, explained, it is currently dif-
ficult to sell cocaine in Munich. There is little interest in the South
American drug. [Text] (Munich SUEDDEUTSCH~ 2EITUNG in German 14 Nov 78
