BRIEFS
ACCESS TO MAIL, TAX RECORDS--Canberra--The Federal Government is to consider a
drug inquiry recommendation that Federal Police be given access to taxation
records and power to intercept mail, the Minister for Administrative Services,
Mr Newman, said yesterday. Mr Newman told Parl.iament in Question Time that the
Government's consideration would centre on the need to achieve a balance between
ttie protection of tlie public from drug traffickers and the protection of the
~ rights of individuals. Ttie recommendation was among those handed down by the
_ Royal Commission into drugs, headed by Mr~Justice Williams. Mr Newman said
Mr Justice Williams had stipulated that such measures shc+uld be introduced under
strict coi:trols, which should be no less than those which now operate in respect
of the power of the police to a.ntercept ph.one calls. If introduced, the measure
- would probably require police to apply to court for permission to gain access to
tax records. [Text] [Sydney THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD in English 23 Oct 81 p 2]

FOREIGN NATIONIILS ARRESTED ~
Jakarta SINAR HARAPAN in Indonesian 30 Oct S1 pp l, 12
[Text] 'Itao foreigners, a German named Gerd Hrusche [as published] and an Iranian
called Abdol Alisadeh, who were arrested in Moro District, Riau Archip~lago, are
dangerous persons, according to S. J. Matfiaus, chief of Tan~ung Ptnang Immigration
Office. ~
Based on investigation, there are ~ndications that both foreigners are involved in
the smuggling of narcotics, weapons, gold or in other suTiversive activities.
Mathaus said, who ad3ed tY?at it was difficult to extract information from the
suspects, particularly the German wfio is a taciturn type. Wheai arre~ted by the
police in '4oro, 6oth foreigners said tfiey had lost their passports. These pass-
ports have 6een found since. The first paper to be found was a piece of identi-
ficatian belonging to Alisadeh, by a 6-year-old boy on a pier o.r, 20 October.
The following day, three passports were f~und on a main street by a 9-year-old
- youngster. They belonged to Hrusche~ Alisadeh and a certain Heinz Friederich,
respectively. .
The deputy co~rcnanding police chief in Riau, MaJ Drs Sitompul, said investigation
is still goin g on as to why Alisadeh~s identification paper and the three passports
wer~ f.~und at two dif.ferent places and they were found by two youngsters a few
days a.fter the two foreigners were arrested on 18 October. Were these mere coin-
cidences or were there other factors involved?
Sitompul also wanted to know for sure where the two foreigners stayed in Moro.
- As to ttie ~assport bearing the name of Heinz Friederich, the pr~otograph of wH~m
bears a strong resemblance to Gerd Hrusche's, invest.igation is being made to find
out whether Heinz Iriederich is another assumed name of Hrusche. Meanwh ilp,
Friederich is nowhere to be found.
Pending a thorough investi~ation, Mathaus has a strong suspicion that Hrusche and
Friederich are one and the same person. Neither passport bore any visa stamp
for Indonesia, although. the pages o.� both passports are full of visa chops for
various trips to eastern Europe, particularly the one belonging to Gerd Hrusche.
Although his passport was issued in West Germany, one of the stamps showed a
prohibition to enter the United States when he tried to get an AmQrican visa from
a certain co untry in Europe.

Who arranged their trip from Sir_ga~pore? Who are their contacts in Moro? What do

serves as a clandestine lane for narcotics and human traffic. Although surrounded
by water, many inhabitants of Moro do not depend on fishing for their livelihood--
or live as farmers, either.
The waters of Moro meet with the southern channel of Malacca Strait through which
runs a heavy traffic of inerchentmen and oil tankers. Local fisheYman in Moro often
- see suspicious forei~n ships unloading commodities at night.
Mathaus confirmed such information. "We also hav~ similar reports. Our suspicion
is that those ships drop anchor and unload contraband on the Moro waters, and it is
possible that they are delivering narcotics." He added that people aboard
oil tankers are committing this tliing.
Lt Col Kamas Johar, the commanding police officer in Riau Archipelago, who is cur-
rently visiting ,7akarta on official duty, confirmed that Moro region is a trouble
spot, adding that the waters around Moro are on police record as a narcotics traf-
fic lane.
Due to shortage of personnel and equipment, the police are only able to conduct
limited patrols on an intermittex~t basis, he said.

NARCOTICS INTERDiCTION COURSE, ARR~STS
- Jakarta SINAR HARAPAN in ~ndonesian 24 Oct 81 pp l, 12
[Excerpts] Director General of Customs Wahono stated that Bali region has become
an operational center of an international narcotics syndicate to organize its
~.landestine business.
Wahono made this remark at Pertamina Cottage in Kuta, Bali last Friday night dur-
ing the closing ceremony of a special train~ng course on "Special Cargo and Nar-
cotics Interdiction" ~ointly sponsoxed by the Tndones~an and U.S. customs houses.
The course provides Indonesian customs personuel with training on how to identify
and track down narcotics.
Wahono attaches great importance to the course beaause,.he said, Indonesia has
indeed become a narcotics traff ic transit point for the ill.egal international
market. "Not long ago we confiscated 5 kg of heroin at Halim [Jakarta] Airport
in a plot to transport it to Amsterdam," he added.
" Philipps Gill, a member of the American Embassy in Indonesia, told this newspaper
that Indonesia is not only a narcotics ~raffic transit po~.nt, but also a consump~
tion region. "As a matter of fact, the largest consumption of illegal narcotics
takes place in Southeast Asia, and not in Western Europe or the U.S.," he said. �
_ Speaking before the training course on behalf of the U.S~ ambassador, Mr Gill
warned the people all. over ttie world to be alert against illicit narcotics trade,
because the current opium l~arvest at the "golden triangle" is the big~est in the
past 6 years.
- He estimaCed this yE;ar` s opium production from the "golden triangle" at about
500 tons. Consequently, the United States will continue to request the coll~abor-
ation of other countries in combatting international narcotics trade~ He ex-
plained that the special training course on narcotics interdiction just ended
does not serve the interests of the U.S. alone, but also for the entire humanity.
- llrs Samadi, chairman of the training execution cotmnittee, said that training of
this kind has proved beneficial to Indone5ian customs officers while carrying out
- their duties at harbors and airports, mer~ti.oning specifically in the courses in
theory and practice on~narcotics identifscution, baggage where narcotics are
hidden, aircraft and vessel inspection c.arrying narcotics, and the use af detec-
tive dogs.

The training is divided into two par.ts, th~ first par.t held iu Juk~~rL~ aricl [I~~~
second in Bali. Each part lasts two weeks, attended by 30 participants, starting
last 28 September.
Ae previously reported, a 28-year-old American citizen named Anthony Ross Worf:h
using the false s elf--identity of Frank Joseph Smith, who was arrested in Ba1i on
_ 25 September, was deported to the U.S. Friday morning under escort of a U.S.
~ marshal. The suspect was described as a member of a dangerous syndicate and has
attempted several times to kill American members of the Tnterpol.. '
_ Anthony Ross Wor th was brought from Bali directly to Jakarta to be interrogated by
a special team of ~the Indoneszan Interpol. The examination was ~iandled irc person
- by the Chief of Police in his capacity as chairman of the Indonesian Interpol.
Before being deported to the U.S., Worth was also examined bj~ other law enforcement
_ authorities, namely, the Attorney General's Office and the Department of Justice.
The accused said that he could enter Tndonesia because he used an assumed name of
Frank Joseph Smi th. He arrived in Indonesia with his companion Miguel Trabela in
mid-September. Trabela, believed to be a leader in a Peruvian narcotics syndi-
cate, stayed only briefly in Indonesia before returning to his homeland. Anthony
Itoss Worth rema ined in Bali for a c~nsiderable time because he wanted to enjoy the
seascape of Kuta Beach, he said.
Meanwhile, two o ther. foreigners, Gerd (.Hrusche~, 38, and Abc~ol Alisadeh, 24, of
German and Iran ian nationali,ty, respectively, were arrested by the police at Moro
District, Riau Archipelago.
Arrested on 18 October, both fore~.gners told the police that they lost their
passports when they arrived from Singapore.
However, Gerd (Hrusche) said he had been living in Java for some time ar.d he even
has a wife and a chi.ld in Central Java.
According to Drs Kamas Johar, a police officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel
_ :~nd commanding officer in Riau Archipelago, both foreigners were on the wanted
~ list and blackl i sted against entry into Indonesia.
- Durin~; police investifiation, both for.eigners were insolent and uncooperative,
refusing to answer many questions. Kamas J~har said one or both of them were at
one time connec ted with the notorious Red Brigade in Germany.
He added tl~at i t is possible that both might be engaged in some subversive
activities in Indonesia.

- DRUGS FROM GERMANY SEIZED, TRAFFICKERS CAPTURED
Ciudad Juarez EL FRONTERIZO in Spanish 2 Dec 81 Sec B p 10
[Text] Mexico City, 1 December (OEM)--Agents from the FBI, and the Mexican and
German INTERPOL, are seeking additional "fat fish" of the international drug traffic
underworld that has been operating for the past 3 years in Europe and America, sell-
ing psychotropic substances.
= Among the leaders of the international gang ~f fugitives is the German, Claus Kesting,
a partner in the German pharmaceutical firm Globe Chemical, as well as another indi-
vidual of Mexican nationality, whose name was not provided so as not to hamper the
investigation.
Only three of the drug traffickers were captured by the federal agents, when they
discovered in the port of Veracruz a ship of Swedish registry, which had arrived
from Hamburg, Germany, carrying nearly 5,000 kilograms of a psychotropic substance
known as metaqualone, for producing the drug called Mandrax in pill form.
Javier Coello Trejo, agent of the Federal Public Ministryfor special affairs, said
that the drugs were worthy 775 million pesos, and were to be distributed on the
black market in Mexico and the United States.
Comdr Florentino Ventura, chief of INTERPOL in Mexico, said that the substance in
powdsred form (metaqualone) was processed in a clandestine laboratory located in
Tepic, Nayarit.
Moreover, it was reported that an investigation is being made of the pharmaceutical ~
firm American Medicinal Industry (IMA), with which the drug traffickers concealed
their illegal activities in order to bring in the psychotropic substances.
- The three subjects in custody, the German Holder Markman Mamero, and the Mexicans
Manuel Arnulfo Lopez and Hector Manuel Godoy Calderon, were taken to the Eastern
Preventive Prison, at the disposal of the seventh district judge of penal affairs.

contents of. the 19 ba~s seized on the banks of the Rio Bravo on the site of the
- E1 Ebanito communal farm,into ashes.

- the Attorney General of the Republic captured 11 officials and employe`es of State of
Mexico pharmaceutical laboratories who had smuggled drugs worth several million
p~sos into the country for making medicines. Those in custody, whose names were
not released, worked at the IMA, SA, Laboratories, and have been questioned in the
PGR lockup on Soto Street, on the corner of Reforma Avenue, in the Guerrero district.

officials of the aforementioned firm were illegally brii,ging raw material, chiefly
drugs, into the country for the manufacture of inedicines. For this reason, he

who was confined in cell No 6 of the ~ail, and that they had been turned over to
him to sell arnong the addicts in La Loma. Also during the investigation, it was

PERU
DRUG TRAFFICKERS, METHODS, REHABILITATION PROGRAM ~
Drug~Traffickers Execution
Santiago LA NACION in Spanish 9 Nov 81 p 8 B
_ [Text] Lima, 8 Nov (ANSA)--The bloody war to the death be~tween international gangs
of narcotics traffickers, apparently directed by Italian-Americans, continues to
hold the attention of the main local newspapers. "Give up, Buccolo; your life is
in danger," the police call out at the stronghold of the alleged chief of a narcotics
traffick3.ng mafia which has already executed--in Italian vendetta s~yle--some eight
persons linked to the illegal drug traffic. During the last week Lima has been
shocked by reports of barbarous crimes against one Japanese and three Italian
citizens, murdered in cold blood in the streets. The police appear to have found
the thread which will lead to the uncovering of a powerful narcotics trafficlcing
organization headquartered in Feru, the members of which could become millionaires
through the illegal export oi cocaine base to Europe and the potential U.S. market.
Pasquele Buccolo, owner of one of the best-known footwear industries in Lima, is
believed to be the "godfather" of the narcotics mafias operating in Peru. He was
released several months ago from Lur3gancho prison, where he had been held on charges
of possession of narcotics. Shortly after his release, Lima was shaken by the stxange,
savage and cold-blooded murders of one Japanese and three Italian citizens, victims
of knife and firearm attacks, not to mention evidence of torture all over their
bodies. Other mutilated corpses of persons linked to the narcotics traffic have
been found, but police have not released any further details about these unspeakable
crimes. Meanwhile they have deployed their best narcotics agents in the search for
Buccolo, whose life is threatened by a rival gang. It is said that Buccolo failed
to make drug shipments he contracted with another organization, in view of which
the mafia decided to execute Ruccolo and all his associates, among them a Japanese
industrialist.

with .LO tons of hake, and the trip was to take 7 days. The four Colombian traffickers--
ide?itiFied as Edgar Omar Martinez Romero (31), owner of the truck and the drug;
Nel~on de Jesus Berrios Hoyos (51), the gang's contact; Aristobulo Pineiro Espiti~
- (38), the driver; and Jose Rimel Baquero (26), an accomplice--and Maria Grandez
Lozano (a Peruvian) were arrested at a house in the Valle Hermoso district of
Monterrico which they rented for $40~ a montn. Inside the hosse the PIP [Peruvian
Investigative Police] found 20 kg of the drug in an inner tube from a tire. On
being interrogated, the prisoners said they were fish merchants and ~hat they had
come to Peru in a 10-speed refrigerator truck valued at $70,000, which they had
parked in a yard in the San Mig~.el district.
After locating the refrigerator truck, agents of the Antinarcotics Directorate--
which is headed by PIP Gen Berly Baca V., made a thorough inspection. They were
surprised to find inside the refrigerator chamber a, hollowed-out area covered with
six sheets of zinc. When those zinc sheets were removed, they found four inner tubes
tied toegether like sausages and containing a total of 86 kg of cocaine.
- The owner of the truck, ~dgar Martinez Romero, admitted it was the second time he
had hauled drugs. The first time was a year ago, when he transported 10 kg of PBC.
The second shipment was due to leave tomorrow in the refrigerator truck. This is
the second time this year that the PIP has found drugs hidden in inner tubes. The
investigation of this latest case was under the direction of PIP Lt Col Cesar Anco
Zegarra. The drugs, refrigerator truck and all the other paraphernalia found have
been impounded and will be turned over to the Executive Office for Drug ~Control
(OFECO).
Drug Rehabiliation Program Costs
Lima EL COMERCIO in Spanish 27 Oct 81 p A-18
[Text] Arequipa, 26 Oct--The rehabilitation of a drug addict requires an expenditure
af at least 6 million sols. Since the state does not have many beds for these
- p,iiients, parents who do not have such resources find themselves unable to have
_ their children rehabilitated. This was disclosed today at an antidrug conference
held here. In addition, medical spokesmen revealed that first stage "drug dependents"
, have a po~,sibility of being 50 percent rehabilitated; in the second stage they may
achieve 20 percent rehabilitation, but beyond that it is no longer possible to do .
anytliing for them.
Cocaine base was singled out as one of the most damaging drugs being used, because
its manufacture involves the use of a series of elemenr_s such as kerosene, potassium,
ammonia, chloride and other substances which penetrate the organism, destroy the
netve cells and, after causing the patient slowly to become incapacitated, leave
him brain-damaged.
It was revealed at the meeting that at this time marihuana is the most widely
distributed hallucinogen in Arequipa, followed by cocaine base and cocaine hydro-
chloride.

The drug pusher was termed a despicable element because of h~s responsibility for
recruitment and conversion to drug addiction of a youth which is called to contributQ
to ti?~ clevelopment of. the country.
- In addition, Civil Guard Maj Hugo Vega Rioja of the Second Sector Commissar~ here
said that Peru currently produces 35,000 tons of coca leaves per pear, of which
� only 500 tons are expo.rted. Ten thousand tc*~s are consumed by thp Indian tribes
of the mountain regions in their traditional "chacchar" ceremony, and the rest dis-
~ appears mysteriously, to be made into PBC or cocaine hydrochloride. The police
chief also said that the country's parents, educators and people in general have a
serious responsibility to protect our youth, who must be taught fro~ an early age
about the dangers of drug use.
Trafficking Methods Uncovered
Lima EL CnMERCtO in Spanish 25 Oct 81 p A-22
[Text] The natural suspicion and wisdom of inembers of the Investigative Police have
been making an impression on the ever more ingenious methods used by narcotics
traffickers or "carriers" to try to smuggle drugs out of the country, and as of
Septembzr nearly 3,000 kg of narcotics had been seized thi~ year.
In thxs closed duel between the forces of order and organized crime--the majority
- of foreigners bein~ from Colombia--th~ most varied resources have been used on both
sides, ranging from the use of pre-Columblan or apparent archeological artifacts
to innocent jars of baby powder.
There is no lack of bold cases in which carriers have attempted to transport the
drug, spread out perfectly flat, in a hit album, in the heels of shoes, in fire
extinguishers and even in tins of apparen~ly juicy preserves.
These attempts have been successfully thwarted by the experience an~i thorough
knowledge of psychology of agents of the Directoxate for Investigati~: of the Illegal
Drug Traffic, headed by PIP Gen Berly Baca Valdivia.
This has permitted tl~e police to develop a very fine and effective instinct, suc:n
_ as when a Cuban national sparting a big "Afro" was pacing nervously about the
airport, and someone said that maybe he was a narcotics dealer. Indeed he was; he
was carrying the drug in his luxuriant, bouffant wig.
Ceneral Baca Valdivia said that policewomen play a very important role in detecting
drug traffic, since in many cases women have been arrested while carrying drugs in
their private parts or in false bosoms.
"Generally," Baca Valdivia said, "men and women fight hand in hand here against the
drug traffic, which in many cases has trickled down even to 12-year-old children,
wha are used as carriers, as well as distributors, of the drugs." A curious piece
of data offered by General Baca is that when these criminals have L�een captured,
very fe~~ times has ttiere been any disloyalty or "whistle-bloGring," since gene?-ally
they are great jokers or persons who want to cause troubl~ ~or others.

He sai.d that among the problems most frequently encountered, generally, in their
work is lack of adequate resources, because the traffickers have fast automobiles,
planes and modern radio equipment, so they can change key frequently.
"For example, on the border wxth Colombia, in the midst of the jungle, we hav~ to
' move around pretty slowly compared with the extremely fast vehicles the narcotics
- traffickers have," General Baca said.
Even so, that office has m~ac: some good progress, and as of last September had
seized 2,491,779 kg of r.:~. aine base, 33,996 kg of washed base, 75,443 kg of
_ cocai.ne hydrochloride an~ ~~36 kg of marihuana.
A.so included was .5 kg of hashish, seized from a group of foreigners who thought
they would pass it off as cocaine.
Baca ~~aldivia indicated that rhe DEA [Drug Enforcement Administration], the U.S.
agency in charge of fighting the drug traffic, h~lps them a great deal_, sending
- vehicles and equipment as well as s~,ecialized instructors.
"But we need planes, helicopters, modern radio equipm~nt and more people. That
- is urgent," General Baca Valdivia emphasized, as he spoke at the aforementioned PIP
~ offices in Pueblo Libre.
