Narcotics in 40 Days



Authorities say they've siezed over 15-thousand kilograms of drugs and
arrested 3-thousand-700 suspects within 40 days ... as part of an ongoing
effort to crackdown on drugs.

Today's announcement covered results of a key anti-drug initiative from
between March 10th and April 18th ... called the "Safe Community Anti-Drug
Project".

Premier Cho Jung-tai praised the results and urged continued efforts to
strengthen drug prevention and enforcement.

Customs officials highlighted several major busts, including large quantities
of etomidate smuggled from India, ketamine from Thailand, and heroin
concealed in tissue boxes.

In a separate development, investigators uncovered a scam involving a public
employee who allegedly submitted fake anti-smuggling reward claims.

Premier Cho has called for swift legal action and internal reforms in
response.

Authorities continue to stress that drug trafficking in Taiwan carries severe
penalties, including life imprisonment or the death penalty.
