pages 25/26. The A tlan tic S an i ta ry Police inspected ten pharmacies at Barran-O.C.S./Conf.llSl (a). quilla and found th e following q uan t i t ies of faked Sedol : Drogueria

Blanco & Roca, 58 ampoules ; F a rm ac ia Blanca, 96 ampoules ; Farmacia Colon, 6 ampoules ; F a rm ac ia del Carmen, 1 ampoule. The ampoules were packed in genuine conta iners. The falsification corresponded to the 67 m m . ty p e p h o to g rap h .1 The word 11 Sedol ” was crossed ou t and the sides of the su rround ing rectangle ended in a very sharp point. In eight boxes, all th e ampoules were faked ; in the others, th e y were mixed with genuine ampoules.

The Sectional S an i ta ry Police of the D e p a r tm e n t of Valle learned t h a t ampoules of faked Sedol were being sen t out f rom th e es tab l ishm en t of Dr. R oberto Correa, in the town of Cartago and were la te r informed b y a physic ian t h a t he h ad used for one of his patients an am poule supplied b y Dr. Correa an d h ad observed sym ptom s of in tox ica t ion an d excessive t ac h y ca rd ia — which he had never seen w ith the use of genuine Sedol. The Inspector of Police a t Cartago ascerta ined the following facts. A n individual “ of small s ta tu re , fair, and robust ” came to Dr. R ober to C orrea’s p h a r m a c y and told him t h a t he was a n a t iv e of Bogota an d was em ployed as an ag en t for ph arm aceu tica l p roduc ts , th o u g h he did n o t mention th e nam e of the m an u fa c tu r in g firm. This person fu r th e r to ld Dr. Correa t h a t he had three boxes of free samples of Sedol which he wished to exchange for o th e r samples t h a t were of no value to th e la t te r . The alleged agent was so ins is ten t th a t , in order to get rid of him. Dr. Correa decided to tak e one bo x of am poules in exchange for samples from th e Squibb firm. Of th e twelve am poules in th e box, Dr. Correa disposed of four, one of which he used for a p a t i e n t of his own. The rem ain ing e ight ampoules were confiscated an d sent, together w ith th e re levan t reports , to th e F ir s t Circuit Judge , who, as head of judicial investigations in criminal cases, was the p rope r a u th o r i ty for dealing w ith this m a t te r . Dr. Antonio J . Sancedo, of Roldanillo, who learned of this falsification th ro u g h th e Press, handed over, th ro u g h the in te rm ed ia ry of the H ea l th Inspector, t h e 59 ampoules of faked Sedol which are referred to in the reports .

In its annua l report for 1939 on the traffic in op ium and other dangerous drugs, the Governm ent of the U n i ted S ta tes of America gives th e following fu r th e r in form ation concerning this case :

Louis B uch a l te r {alias Lepke), who was a fugitive in connection' w i th this case, surrendered himself to th e Federal au thori t ies in August1939 and was su b sequen tly sentenced to im prisonm en t for twelve years,hav ing been convic ted of conspiracy to v io late th e narcotic laws. With his conviction, all th e m ajo r defendants in th is narcotic smuggling

conspiracy (30 were indicted), which was th e m o s t im p o r ta n t case developed in several years, have been b ro u g h t to just ice w ith the excep tion of th ree : Louis Kravitz , a fugitive, who is believed to be in th e U n i ted S ta tes , and Yanis Tsounias and George L. Mexis, who are believed to be in Shanghai. In J u ly 1939, the U nited S ta tes T reasu ry D ep ar tm en t , through theD e p a r tm e n t of S ta te , su b m it te d to the Shanghai au thori t ies evidence in g rea t detail showingan extensive traffic in illicit narco tics by Tsounias and Mexis, in the hope t h a t on the basisof this evidence these m alefactors m igh t be b ro u g h t to justice.

The police h ad for some considerable t im e been w a tch ing M ustafa Ozem, proprietor of Ozem Casino a t Péra, and Neset Goker, formerly a clerk in the Customs guard and now engaged in the dye trade , to g e th er w ith the ir confederates, h av ing reason to suspect that these persons were im plicated in th e c landestine m an u fa c tu re and illicit sale of morphine on a large scale. F o r a long t im e, however, th e traffickers, w arned th ro u g h personal friends of Neset Gôker, always e luded the t raps set for them , and the police were unable to ca tch themin the act. A t leng th the police secured th e co-operation of a person who had temporarily re tired from the business an d was well-known in the world of th e illicit t raffic and capable of securing th e confidence of the gang. This confidant was p u t in touch w ith Mustafa Ozem who welcomed h im w a rm ly an d finally agreed to sell h im 4.5 kg. of m orph ine . Mustafa Ozem th en gave ins truct ions to his m anager , A hm ed Oruç, a dealer in business a t Uluborlu, where th e d rug was m an u fa c tu re d and s tored pend ing delivery to th e purchaser , and Ahmed Oruç. set out w ith th e goods.

A t th e m o m en t w hen Ahm ed Oruç was han d in g over th e parcel to the supposed purchaser , th e police, who h ad been waiting in a taxi, dashed in and took the necessary action. In the parcel seized were nine small bags conta in ing, in all, 4 kg. 225 gr. of m orph ine hydrochloride . A search was m ade of the t ra f f icke rs ’ residences, and in the room occupied by A hm ed Oruç a t an inn 23 kg. of morphine base, of a b lackish colour, were seized. The local au thor i t ies a t Uluborlu , w arned by a te legram in code, discovered in th e house of Çopur A hm ed , an im p o r ta n t m em ber of the gang: th e r u d im e n ta ry ap p a ra tu s used for the m an u fa c tu re of th e drug.

The first s tage of th e judicial en q u iry revealed t h a t th e u n d e r ta k in g was financed by a wholesale fruit and vegetab le dealer n am ed Mehmed, who was in business a t Izmit. Mehmet h ad adv an ced £ T . 2,800 (6,720 Swiss gold francs) for th e purchase of th e necessary opium and h ad also supplied th e m ate r ia l and th e chemical ingredien ts used for th e m a n u f a c t u r e .

H e had , fu r the rm ore , sen t for Çopur A h m ed to come to I s tan b u l to receive from Laz Osman technical in s t ruc t ion in th e m an u fa c tu re of morphine. A hm ed Oruç ac ted as transport agent in the organisa tion. Lemi K erm en , a commission agent, and Marco Pardo , a dealer, were also m em bers o f th e gang who were engaged in selling morphine.

The whole gang is u n d e r a rres t and th e case has been h an d ed over to th e Is tanbul Public P rosecutions D e p a r tm e n t for an enqu iry . The verdic t of th e com p e ten t cour t will be co m m unica ted in due course.

1; The box conta ins m agnesia in cubes and in powder. Of th e conten ts , 5 % consists of m orphine hydrochloride in cubes, these being chiefly in the up p e r p a r t of the box. These cubes are a li tt le da rk e r in colour and offer grea ter resistance to breaking with the fingers.
