No. 443.—Seizure of M orphine at H a m b u rg : D el Gracio Case.

O .C ./A .R . The Central Narcotics intelligence Bureau, Cairo, reports (April 1933)
i9pn r 994 /t. ) nncp 19 ^ a t , according to a statement made by Elie Eliopoulos in August 1931,
be ' ’ “ the consignment of morphine was ordered by Del Gracio in 1930 from
1083/1072. the Kuskundjuk Factory run by Mechelaere at Istanbul, to be specially
packed in cases of machine parts. Mechelaere promised to despatch
the morphine through Hamburg, but he intended to extract the morphine from the cases and
send only the machine parts to America. He made arrangements with Roman Zahar, a
commission agent of Istanbul and with Ekrem Bey, manager of the “ Compagnie Interconti
nentale 1,1 of Prague, with branches at H amburg and Istanbul, to despatch the cases to Karl
Frank at Hamburg, instructing him to find a purchaser for the drugs and to forward the machine
parts to America. Frank got into touch with Gourievides, who approached Del Gracio as a
possible buyer. Del Gracio was therefore being asked to buy his own consignment He at once
went to Istanbul to see Mechelaere, who declared th a t it was not Del Gracio’s consignment
at Hamburg, but Del Gracio was suspicious and, through Constantin Belokas, got an introduc
tion to Seya Moses in Berlin. He left for Berlin accompanied by Elie Abouissac and it was on
his arrival there th a t he was arrested by the German authorities.
No. 541.—Illicit Traffic in D ru gs at Opava, Czechoslovakia, July and A ugust 1931.

See O.C.294 page 12.
The Government of Czechoslovak ia reports (December 21st, 1932)
•28965/157 that no drugs were seized in connection with this case and that the enquiries
undertaken by the Czech authorities for the purpose of ascertaining
the origin of the drugs concerned led to no result. In addition to fines
for infraction against the law concerning excise duties inflicted on a number of persons involved
in this case, the following individuals were fined for infraction of the narcotic drugs laws :
Charles Hônig, a fine of 5,000 kr., or twenty-five days’ imprisonment ; Leopold Schrotter, a fine
of 1.500 kr., or seven days’ imprisonment ; Bruno Liebreich, a fine of 200 kr., or twenty-four
hours’ imprisonment.
No. 552.— Illicit Traffic by M echel H alpern, B aruch K leiner and N ussen b aum ,
February and M arch 1932.
See O.C.29i(l ), page 16, The Austrian representative on the Advisory Committee reports
pa»^,^ (May 8th, 1933) th a t the Istanbul police have communicated to the
Austrian police the following information concerning this affair : The
35696 / 1 5 7 . investigations undertaken by the Istanbul police have revealed that no
publishing firm of the name of Walter exists at Jüksekkaldirim No. 522,
Istanbul. Formerly an Austrian named Fritz Plaschki occupied this shop and the son of Mechel
Halpern, Abraham David (Polish), worked with him. The Roumanian, Walter Dezeder, lived
atPera, a quarter of Istanbul, but he left on June 21st, 1932, by train for Bulgaria. A search
was made at the premises occupied by David and Plaschki (rue Aynalicesme, No. 27) and 11 kg.
of a white powder and scales were seized. An analysis of the powder proved that it was not
a narcotic poison. Abraham David left Istanbul on February 10th, 1932, for Germany.

purchase of a hundred dozen toy lanterns with the heading Condyser, 33, rue Montholon,

and the letter contained the address of a toyshop establishment in Paris. At this establishment
it was learnt that a man called Wolf, 30, rue de la Bienfaisance, Paris, had ordered certain toys,
bringing cases for packing the goods and taking them away in taxis. At No. 30, rue de la
Bienfaisance no one of the name of Wolf is known. But from information received it appeared
th a t the description of Wolf corresponded with th a t of Condyser. Interrogation of the taxi-
drivers concerned revealed the identity of the packer who made the cases and the garage
where they were provisionally stored before shipment. The packer stated th a t a client named
Liezel, Hôtel Moderne, Paris, had placed several orders for cases with him, but Liezel was
unknown at the Hotel Moderne. In a number of photographs shown to him, however, the
packer recognised one, a photo of Polakiewitz, as being that of his client, who had taken in
turn the names of Condyser, Wolf and Liezel. The manager of the garage said th a t he had let
the garage for three months to a certain Adolphe Caro, who is none other than Polakiewitz.
On June 18th, 1932, Polakiewitz was surprised and arrested in Paris, together with Herzberg,
his principal accomplice, in the act of packing morphine in a cardboard box. They had also
on the premises 1 kg. of morphine paste contained in a basin. Polakiewitz admitted that two
parcels of slippers, discovered during the search at the garage, represented the remains of a
consignment of four cases of slippers, in which he had placed some 15 kg. of morphine, shipped
at Havre on the s.s. Vincent on the same day as his arrest. The American authorities, who were
at once informed by the French Sûreté Générale of the facts, seized the four cases and found
in one of them 15 kg. 851 grs. of morphine . 1 Polakiewitz added that he had made the two
shipments on the Ile-de-France and on the Vincent for the account of Adelman, alias Edelman
Fish, alias I. Givot, to whom he wrote at the Hotel Roosevelt at New York. He further stated
th a t the narcotics seized on the Ile-de-France had been sold to him by one “ Jim ”, not identified.
The narcotics seized on the Vincent had, he said, been sold to him by Ignacio Endler, alias
Jules Emdler, who left France abruptly in June 1932. At the time of his arrest, Polakiewitz
had on him a passport, issued at Ottawa on November 16th, 1930, in the name of Maurice
Davis, stating that he was a British subject ; this passport had visas from different countries
in Europe. I t is also known th a t he was receiving letters from two countries in Central Europe
at his tailor’s address, and, lastly, in the Paris branch of an American bank, evidence was found
of four payments into his name made in one month, and totalling some 20.000 dollars. At
the hotel where he was actually staying he had taken the name of George Ross, born at Cardiff.

No. 574.—S eizu res at Canton during Second Quarter of 1932.

See O.C.294 (mj, page 5. A seizure of 454 grammes of ethylmorphine in sixteen one-oz.
315/157(6) bottles marked Burgoyne, Burbidge & Co., East Ham, London, was
among those reported under this heading. The British representative on
the Advisory Committee reports (November 7th, 1932) that, as the Geneva
Convention of 1925 does not apply to this drug, it was not at that time controlled in the
United Kingdom or in any of the Colonies. The British representative suggested that, as
ethylmorphine is not a drug of addiction, it was presumably being passed off in the illicit
traffic as morphine.

8. The factory started work at the beginning of October 1932, and the report stated that
considerable quantities of heroin manufactured were smuggled out of the country
in double-bottomed trunks into Germany and France en route principally for
Hamburg for the American market, and for Marseilles en route for Egypt and the
Far East.
The Bulgarian Government states th a t the factory at Radomir began operations before it
had been inspected by the health authorities and before it had obtained a licence
to manufacture. When the factory was inspected in February 1933, no registers
nor correspondence could be found. The authorities are still endeavouring to
ascertain to what extent the assertions in regard to the output of this factory are
correct. The factory was closed, and its owner, Lazoff, fined. The substance found
in his factory was confiscated. He himself is under constant supervision, but at the
present time there are no legislative measures in force which would enable any other
action to be taken against him.

apparatus installed. This was completed by the end of November. Torii and
Ikeda were employed to assist Saito. Certain quantities of benzylmorphine were
imported illicitly from Tientsin by Horii and, up to February 5th, 1932, 15 kg. of
heroin had been manufactured and sold illicitly to Horii and other persons. The
311 grammes of heroin were seized in the factory.

In April 1931, the Petit Parisien published an account of a case of blackmailing between
two individuals. A person named Nasso Eliopoulos sent for the police to arrest
Gourievidis, who was staying with him and whom he accused of attem pted robbery.
Gourievidis vindicated himself and denounced to the French authorities the activities
of a large group of traffickers at Paris known as Eliopoulos Frères. This information
reached the American Anti-Narcotics Service and the British police authorities, and
in the following year led to further developments at Alexandria between March 6th
and 18th, 1932.
A certain John Voyatzis, who was staying a t Alexandria, was being closely watched, on
the information of the British authorities at Tientsin, by the Egyptian Anti-Narcotics
Bureau. His actions and movements did not lead to any interesting discoveries,
as he did not consort with any of the well-known traffickers. But, when he was
leaving Alexandria for the Piraeus, his heavy baggage wras searched on the pretext
of verifying whether it contained contraband gold. Some extremely interesting
papers, a code-book and a pocket-book, were discovered. This pocket-book was a
“ Who’s Who ” of the contraband trade and furnished the key to all the telegrams
of the Eliopoulos group.

Previously, in December 1931, the Berlin police had arrested on the Simplon express a
person named Del Gracio, who was travelling in company w ith Abouissac, a notorious
trafficker, of Istanbul. These arrests enabled the German police a few days later
to seize 27 cases containing 250 kg. of morphine, which were warehoused in the port
of Hamburg. These goods had come from Turkey and were to be despatched to
the United States.
These three incidents are the source of most of the information obtained regarding
traffickers of Paris, Berlin, Istanbul, Tientsin and New York. In particular, the
arrest of Del Gracio and of a number of accomplices enabled very important
proceedings to be instituted at Hamburg. Six persons are accused, the two principals
being Elie Eliopoulos and August Del Gracio.
Elie Eliopoulos was born of respectable parents on February 11th, 1894, at Piraeus,
Greece. A Greek national, he was educated a t Robert College, Istanbul. During
the war he was a purveyor to the Greek army, but lost most of his capital, and in or
about 1927 he went into partnership with Cazales, a South American, who agreed
to p u t up the necessary capital for a venture in narcotics. Eliopoulos made enormous
profits from this traffic. Between September 1931 and February 1932—i.e., in the
short period of six months—he is known to have made a profit of £150,000 sterling.
He w'as first arrested and detained pending trial at Mannheim on March 10th, 1932,
and on March 24th, 1932, was released on bail of 10,000 RM. and returned to Athens.
Although there is no previous conviction against him, he was probably implicated
in a narcotics case at the Afghanistan Legation at Paris (see O.C.294(f ), pages
52 and 53), and was also concerned in a theft of 25,000 francs in regard to which
information wras given by Gourievidis. Lastly, in 1929 he was accused in Roumania
of uttering counterfeit currency and forged cheques. It is also highly probable that,
in 1928 and 1929, he was concerned in the fraudulent activities of Dr. Hubert Rauch
(see O.C.294(k), pages 13 to 15, No. 448) and th a t the repeated sales by Hubert
Rauch to a fictitious person named Anastasopoulos were actually sales to Eliopoulos.
Elie Eliopoulos led a luxurious life at Paris, residing at 88, rue Michel-Ange. He travelled
a great deal, as is shown by his passport. In 1931, he visited in succession Paris,
Lausanne, Athens, Paris, Lausanne, Athens, Bucharest, Berlin, Lausanne, Berne,
Berlin, Cologne, Berlin, London, Netherlands, Berlin, Lausanne, Venice, Athens,
Belgrade, Athens. In 1932, this round continued and we find him at Athens, in
Italy, London, the Netherlands and, finally, Germany, where he was arrested in
March 1932.
According to the depositions of Gourievidis, Eliopoulos bought from Taranto at Istanbul
2,000 kg. of heroin, believed to have been sent to him in small phials through the
diplomatic channel or with the connivance of the personnel of the sleeping-car
service of the Simplon express. Gourievidis also alleged th a t Eliopoulos practised
“ double-crossing ”, For instance, when he heard th a t the price of narcotics in the
East was falling he at once informed the authorities of all the consignments of narcotics
made by his colleagues, so th a t the price of his own goods might be artificially raised.
It has been proved th a t Eliopoulos was in close touch with John Voyatzis of Tientsin.
The American Express, London, sent him on January 18th, 1932, 12,000 American
dollars by order of the American Express Office at Tientsin. At Tientsin. Dionisius
Galatis, of the General Trading Company of Tientsin, a coffee-dealer, was in reality
working in close touch with John Voyatzis. Another person who may be regarded
as Eliopoulos’s right-hand man is a certain Kosta Bellocas, who lives at Istanbul and
was also collaborating with Mechelaere,1 formerly a manufacturer in France and
subsequently a narcotics manufacturer in Turkey.
Lastly, attention should be drawn to the close collaboration of Elie Eliopoulos with his
brother George, who, for instance, on January 16th, 1932, sent his brother from
Bulgaria a sum of 390,000 French francs to be credited to his account with the
Société de Banque suisse a t Lausanne. Bank accounts have been opened in the
name of Elie Eliopoulos in Berne, London, Paris and Berlin.
Eliopoulos has himself admitted that he had business dealings with the brothers Skiotis,
of Tientsin, and with Panus, also of th a t city, who are all confederates of John
Voyatzis.
Seizure of Ih^ Havelland (documents O.C.294(j), page 14, and O.C.294fn/ page 3, No. 368,
O.C.S.32).—As a result of the information given by Reiter and the telegrams decoded
at his house, the joint responsibility of Eliopoulos for the despatch of three trunks to
Tientsin has been established ; two of the trunks, which had a false bottom, contained
some 72 kg. of heroin. A number of anxious telegrams exchanged between Reiter,
Eliopoulos and Bellocas proves th a t they were directly concerned in this affair.
It is also inferred from certain telegrams dealing with a question of bottomry, and from
other information, th a t Eliopoulos purchased a steamship which, according to
Gourievidis, was to be fitted up as a floating narcotics factory. These telegrams
were dated October 1932 ; and a telegram dated November 2nd. 1931. proves that,
in addition to the consignment on the s.s. Havelland, other consignments of narcotics
were despatched of w hich particulars are lacking.
See note on page ‘24.

— 26 —
In 1932, Eliopoulos leftParis for London, leaving th a t city on March 4th, for the Netherlands.
The Rotterdam authorities were informed and, on Eliopoulos’s departure for Germany
the Dutch authorities passed on the information to the German authorities, who
arrested Eliopoulos at Mannheim on March 8th. He was subsequently released on
bail and returned to Athens.
Del Gracio was born on July 10th, 1893, in New York. He is an American citizen
domiciled in New York.
He was detained pending trial on December 3rd, 1931, and released on bail of 50,000 RM,
on June 21st, 1932, being previously sentenced, in 1914, to ten days’ imprisonment
with hard labour and ten months’ imprisonment in a penitentiary.
When arrested in Berlin with Abouissac, Del Gracio endeavoured to conceal in
newspapers, which he quickly replaced on the racks of the railway carriage, certain
incriminating correspondence which, at a glance, showed his connection with the
Eliopoulos gang and other persons accused. For details of this case, see document
O.C.294(k), page 12, No. 443, and page 3 of this document.
The documentary evidence also shows th a t Del Gracio was concerned in the despatch
of 28 cases of metallic paint (3,220 kg.) sent from Istanbul to Prague and from Prague
to Antwerp on January 31st, 1931. Some of these 28 cases went direct to Dairen
and Shanghai. Another consignment of 11 cases was sent to Germany. These also
consisted of narcotics. In July 1931, he appears to have arranged for the despatch
of 500 kg. of benzoylmorphine packed in 40 cases surrounded with coffee, electrical
parts, etc. These 40 cases are believed to have been sent in four lots to Dairen.
Some were subsequently opened by the police before they left and their contents
were discovered.
Del Gracio was also concerned in the m atter of the seizure, on December 26th, 1931, of
the Ceres, a vessel proceeding from Istanbul to Hamburg (see document O.C.294(7ij,
page 20, No. 470). Fourteen cases containing 1,513 kg. of opium were found on board.
He was also involved in the m atter of the seizure, early in 1931, of the Milwaukee,
by which the Société intercontinentale1 had despatched 18 cases of morphine from
Istanbul to the United States (see documents O.C.294(7;^, page 13, O.C.294(j),
page 9, and O.C.294(m), page 3, No. 202).
As in the case of Eliopoulos, it was proved th a t Del Gracio had travelled a great deal.
He asserted th a t he had never travelled in Europe before 1930 and that he went
there in th a t year on a pleasure trip. But his passport proves that, since 1929, he
has made six journeys in Europe, including three to Istanbul. Among the papers
found on him when arrested there was the telegraphic address “ Atsok ”, which is
th a t of Reiter in Berlin. This contact with Reiter, who is the liaison agent for the
whole Eliopoulos gang in Berlin, soon made it possible to discover Del Gracio’s
actual connection with all the above-mentioned traffickers.
In the United States, Del Gracio is known as a gangster. He may also be charged with
frequently changing his name so as to deceive either the authorities or the persons
with whom he had dealings. The names he has used are as follows : Del Gracio,
Del Grassio, Augie del Gracio, Max Cohen, Sam Gold, August Moore, Augie Dellas,
Sam the S., Augie del Graci, August, Little Augie, A. Delies, Augie the Wop.
David Gourievidis was born March 20th, 1889, at Novgorod, a Greek or Russian national,
domiciled in Paris. As the result of a request for extradition, he was s u r r e n d e r e d
to Germany by the French authorities on April 16th, 1932, and, on July 22nd, 1932.
was released on bail of 25,000 RM.
Gourievidis has lived for several years in Shanghai and Harbin, where he owns an oil mill.
He was associated with Eliopoulos, b ut quarrelled with him over money matters.
That was the reason why he denounced the brothers Eliopoulos to the French police.
Gourievidis states that, in 1927 and 1928, he traded in drugs in France within the lim its
prescribed by French legislation, as an authorised broker. Eliopoulos made a
statement to the Egyptian police authorities concerning the conditions with w h ic h
authorised brokers in France have to comply (see page 6 of the Egyptian G o v e r n m e n t ’s
report for 1932, document O.C./A.R.1932/3).
In 1930, he sent a large quantity of narcotics from Germany via France to Asia and
America. For this purpose, he had business dealings with a certain Leonoff, a
Russian, and with Sam Bernstein, who is regarded as the principal trafficker in the
United States of America.
Reimann, a former official of the firm of Boehringer, admits th a t G o u r i e v i d i s and
Eliopoulos intended to purchase 400 kg. of morphine (value 300,000 RM.) but that,
in view of the difficulties of importing it into France, he proposed th a t they should
purchase peronine instead, to which they did not agree. However, a c c o r d in g
to the statements of certain witnesses, this proposed purchase actually took place,
since about this time cubes of morphine or basic morphine are alleged to have been
transported on several occasions for the persons concerned, in a double-bottomed
trunk, from Germany to France.
Gourievidis also appears to have been concerned in the purchase of distilling m a c h i n e r y
and other appliances for the manufacture of narcotics. Some of these appliances
wrere sent to Dairen and some to Turkey. Lastly, there is reason to believe tha
this man proposed to establish a clandestine narcotics factory in Germany.

Seya Moses (alias Rudolf Reiter), according to the indictment, was born in 1895 at Bucha
rest ; according to his own statements he was born at Beirut, and is an Afghan
national.
He was detained pending trial on December 7th, 1931, and released on August 8th, 1932,
on bail of 3,000 RM. He was under an obligation to report to the police authorities
three times a week after his release, b u t he nevertheless succeeded in escaping.
During the war, he worked in the German Intelligence Bureau at Lôrrach. Later he
lived at Bucharest and Istanbul and states th a t he was trading in antiquities,
although he has not been able to give evidence of any sales of such articles.
He is actually a liaison agent of the Eliopoulos-Del Gracio gang of traffickers. A very
large number of telegrams exchanged with Elie Eliopoulos were discovered at his
address. He received 1,000 marks a m onth for his living expenses. He has been
proved to possess a licence for trading in narcotic drugs. Telegrams sent to Kosta
Bellocas, an intimate accomplice of Del Gracio, were also discovered at his address.
The telegraphic address of Bellocas was his Christian name reversed, namely “ Atsok ”,
Other telegrams seized were addressed to “ Sfinx ”, Tientsin. It was found that this
address was the same as th a t of Galatis or Voyatzis, both notorious traffickers.
A number of telegrams exchanged with Bellocas regarding the arrest of Del Gracio
definitely proved that Reiter was the hired agent of the gang. Reiter was also one
of the principals resp . u a b l e for the despatch of the three trunks on board the
Ilavelland, two of which cor.! ained heroin.
Karl Frank was born on July 4th, 1897, at St. Petersburg, of no nationality, domiciled
at Hamburg.
He was detained pending trial on December 4th, 1931, and released on bail of 5,000 RM.
on June 23rd, 1932. He had previously been sentenced—namely, in 1922, to a fine
of 510 RM. or seventeen days’ imprisonment and, in 1925, to a fine of 150 RM. or
fifteen days’ imprisonment for a breach of the passport law.
In 1920 and 1921, he was a member of the H amburg Criminal Investigation Police. Later,
until 1925, he was employed by Messrs. Wulf and Company. It is significant that
he spent a lengthy period in China. From 1926 to 1928, he was in Shanghai, Mukden
and Harbin.
His co-operation with the Eliopoulos-Del Gracio group has been established by a number
of telegrams. In particular, he was in constant touch with Gourievidis and a certain
Tjumias. He took part in purchases of plant for manufacturing narcotic drugs and
in other transactions of this gang.
The documents supplied in support of the charge brought against the six persons contain,
not only information collected by the German police, but particulars furnished by
the British authorities at Tientsin and the Egyptian police at Alexandria. All
these documents together have enabled a kind of reconstruction to be made of the
organisation of the traffickers and the sources of supply, methods of despatch and
destinations to be determined.
It was primarily the search of John Voyatzis’s luggage during his stay at Alexandria
th a t supplied the key to all the subsequent discoveries, on account of the special
code found on th a t occasion. By means of this code, it has been possible to decipher
most of the correspondence and telegrams between Eliopoulos, Reiter, Del Gracio
and the rest. The code contains the names of all the most notorious traffickers in
France, Germany, Istanbul and Tientsin. Several names of factories are mentioned
in it ; the entire phraseology essential for orders, consignments and the dosage of
drugs is abundantly represented. There are also particulars of the shipping lines
which can be used. The code has not been published in cxlenso, but very interesting
extracts are contained in the annual report for 1932 of the Central Narcotics I n t e l l i g e n c e
Rureau of the Egyptian Government.
On the basis of information contained in the indictment and obtained by means of the
code, and from the statement made by Eliopoulos himself to the representative of
the Central Narcotics Intelligence Bureau, the actual organisation of the traffickers
may be summarised as follows :
The brothers Eliopoulos— Elie and George—are more or less the heads of the organisation
in Europe and the bankers of the enterprise. In 1927, Elie Eliopoulos, who was
already in relationship with David Gourievidis, joined up with John Voyatzis and
engaged in the drug traffic with the East. Until 1930, he obtained his supplies
from France; apart from Gourievidis, his closest co-worker was a certain Kosta
Bellocas. In Berlin, Seya Moses was the central intermediary agent between the
brothers Eliopoulos in France, Voyatzis in the Far East and Del Gracio in America,
and he exchanged information with them by means of the code.
Del Gracio was in charge of relations with America ; since 1929, he has made six journeys
to Europe, three of which were to Istanbul. The Hamburg case proved his relations,
not only with Reiter, but also with Karl Frank, Beyer, Eliopoulos, Roman Zahara
and Ekrem Bey, the two latter being commission agents of Mechelaere.
John Voyatzis lived at Tientsin. Early in 1932, he left China for Egypt. On his arrival
at Port Said, his heavy baggage was sent round to Alexandria by goods train in
bond and was searched by the Alexandria Customs on the suspicion of illegal export
of gold. A codc-book and a pocket-book which gave the key to the code, were
found, and, as a result, the secrets of many of the German seizures were divulged.
Some of the most im portant names appearing in the code, in addition to those
— 28 -
already mentioned, were Athanasius Eliopoulos, George Zambopoulos, Dimes

Voyatzis, Basil Grimaldi, F. V. Schichman,1 André Christoff,1 Ni cos Sandaljides.
There is reason to suppose th a t there are many sources of supply. Up to the year 1930,
large quantities of narcotic drugs were undoubtedly obtained from certain factories
in France. Later on, when the new French law regarding narcotics came into force,
he dealt with the Istanbul firms. When the French firms had their licences suspended
by the French authorities, they immediately opened factories in Turkey. The
Kuskundjuk factory at Istanbul and the Etkim factory at Eyoub on the Golden Horn
were run by Mechelaere,1 Nissim Taranto, Eskanazi, Abouissac, and a man called
Lorenzetti. The last four-named then arranged for certain consignments and later
gave information leading to the seizure of same, duly claiming their reward at the
proper moment. In this, they were assisted by a certain Stamatis Astras, who
opened an office in Paris. Astras had in his employ a man called Paul Ventura, a
Corsican, who had already been expelled from Egypt. Mechelaere, at this time, made
a secret arrangement with the “ Compagnie de transport intercontinentale ”,1 run
by Ekrem Bey, who had the facility of forwarding goods under seal and exempt
from Customs examination at frontier boundaries. The main bulk of the output
from the Etkim factory was taken by a certain Louis L., who had buyers in New York,
Tientsin, Dairen and Shanghai.
Information in the hands of the Hamburg authorities shows th a t the Kuskundjuk factory
furnished Del Gracio with the drugs to be sent to the United States via Prague and
Hamburg.
The purchase of various machines mentioned on several occasions in the indictment of
Gourievidis also show th a t the gang of traffickers endeavoured to find sources of
supply which would be entirely within their control or to possess a secret drug factory
themselves, and even to instal on a steamer a floating drug factory which would be
better able to escape pursuit. The indictment of Gourievidis also shows th a t apparat us
and machinery were despatched to the East and that probably manufacture in these
eastern countries would enable the demand of the local illicit market to be met and
possibly even for drugs to be exported from the Orient to Western countries.
It would appear from the statement by Eliopoulos that, even at the time of his greatest
activity in France, the French market itself was not attacked by the traffickers.
The drugs appeared to be intended mainly for America and the East. The deposition
by Eliopoulos, again, gives most of the information regarding the movement of
drugs to America. In 1928, there were two rival gangs in competition for the
American market—the Newman Bros, represented by Del Gracio, their buyer, who
dealt with the “ Sico ” factory at St. Geneviève (1) and the A1 Spitzer and Fleishman
group, who worked with Albert Taranto of Paris, afterward part owner of the Eyoub
factory. Since 1926, Louis L. had also been dealing with Del Gracio. His connection
with buyers in the United States is revealed by numerous telegrams which he sent to
New York during this period. One of the methods used by Newman and Louis L. for
smuggling drugs into the United States was to send them to their New York friends
in the baggage of Bacula, who was one time Peruvian Chargé d ’Affaires in Vienna
and later in Oslo. It was on one of these visits, apparently, th a t Bacula, who had at
th a t time 150 kg. of heroin in his luggage, received a visit from Jack Diamond and
left 130 kg. (20 kg. having been stolen) in the charge of one of Diamond’s gang,
a certain William Koffler,1 who had been sent from Vienna by Raskin and Ludwig
Auer 1 to keep a watch on Bacula. Koffler w7as found dead in the hotel the day
after he had received the 130 kg.
The particulars regarding destinations in the East are less detailed ; Galatis and Voyatzis
are the two main clients regarding whom the British authorities in Tientsin p o sse ss
detailed information.
The methods of consignment used by the Eliopoulos-Del Gracio gang would appear
to be characterised in particular by out-of-the-way routes in order to avoid pursuit.
The long journey made by the three trunks seized on board the Havelland in the Far
East may be mentioned as an example. From Istanbul they were sent to Venice.
Munich and Berlin, to reach the East via Hamburg. The same remark may be made
regarding various crates hidden among electrical articles or machine parts, which
were despatched via Prague, Antwerp and Hamburg and then sent either to the
United States or to the East.

1. O.C.S.89. 40296/157.
2. German representative on the Advisory Committee, December 15th, 1932.
4. Seized correspondence shows th a t the smuggled goods were to be transported by rail from
Marseilles to Genoa and shipped from there on Italian vessels to Havana. Other
routes mentioned in the correspondence are by ships of the Norddeutscher Lloyd,
the Bio Bravo and Sierra Ventana from Hamburg to Havana.

5. Persons implicated : Edward Bender,1 whose correct name is Otto Jaufmann, but who
also used the name of Emilio Basetti ; a certain “ A1 ” at Havana.
8, Bender, who is known to be an international drug smuggler, stayed at Hamburg during
the summer of 1932, receiving letters under the name of Basetti, addressed to the
Cuneo-Bar, 11 Davidstrasse, Hamburg. These letters have been seized since
September 15th, 1932, and show th a t Bender was corresponding with a person named
“ A1 ” at H avana with a view to smuggling narcotics. There is no evidence, however,
to show th a t he has carried on smuggling from Germany, and an examination of the
ship’s papers in the possession of the Norddeutscher Lloyd brokers in Hamburg
has not furnished any evidence th a t any smuggled goods have been despatched
from Hamburg. According to information from the H amburg police authorities,
Bender was then staying in France and had his correspondence addressed Poste
restante, Paris. The correspondence seized contains information as to shipping
lines to be used for the transport of goods from Europe to Cuba and instructions as
to the manner of packing. References are made to Irving Halper,1 George Harris,1
Crispin Huice, who is referred to as flooding the drug market in Havana once
or twice a year, an American named Cancio and a certain “ George the Greek ”.
9. Bender was sentenced in 1931 in America to five years’ imprisonment for drug trafficking.
but he absconded.
No. 903.—Karl L eib el-P au l Gernoch Case, Vienna, January 25th, 1933.
1. 2061/387.
2. Austrian Representative on the Advisory Committee, April 26th. 1933.
5. Persons implicated : Karl Leibel, merchant ;2 Paul Cernoch, packer ; Joe Marcell.
8. Leibel and Cernoch had handed over to Anton Reithofer, an inn-keeper, a cash-box
containing 1,000 notes, each of the value of 50 schillings. Reithofer suspected that
these notes were false and took one to the bank for examination. On learning of the
matter, the authorities made enquiries, which led to the arrest of Leibel and Cernoch.
Joe Marcell has not yet been traced, but he apparently accompanied Leibel and
Cernoch when they handed over the cash-box to Reithofer. Leibel stated that
Marcell had given him the false notes in payment for a consignment of narcotics
which he, Leibel. had obtained for Marcell from Darmstadt. I t was established that
Leibel had made several journeys abroad, especially in Czechoslovakia. He has
been several times implicated in the drug traffic in Austria but it could not be
proved th a t he had taken part in any international drug traffic.
9. Leibel and Cernoch were handed over to the tribunal for judgment.

Sam Minyawi ; 3 Mehmet Haidar, of Istanbul ; Saadallah Basha,3 of Beirut ; Fakr
Arnaouti ; Khalid Yaffawi, Syria ; Hussein Hosni, Istanbul ; Mohamed Bechir el
Hindi, British subject.
8. A raid was made on the house of Ali el Gamal at Port Said, as a result of investigations
made in connection with the Mohammed Nafe case.3 Among the correspondence
seized was a letter addressed to Azzam from Sam Minyawi at Istanbul concerning
the despatch of drugs from th a t city. Other letters were found from Fadl el Sherif
and from Haidar. In the course of the enquiry it was proved that Ali el Gamal had
sent money for drug transactions to Azzam when the latter went to Beirut in
1930. This money was paid by Azzam to Saadallah Basha. Sums of money were
also traced to Arnaouti and Yaffawi. Investigations into the affairs of Fadl el
Sherif showed that he had also sent money to Hosni at Istanbul.
9. Youssef Fadl el Sherif was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and a fine of £E 1,000
and Hassan Ali el Gamal to three years’ and a fine of £E500.

8. Messrs. Hoffmann La Roche & Co. Basle, informed the Swiss authorities th a t a consign
ment of pantopon returned from Santiago de Chile, covered by the Swiss import
permit No. 302, had apparently been opened en route, as 200 5-gramme phials of
pantopon in powder were missing. Investigations were made and the reports
received show7th a t the 200 phials of pantopon were part of a consignment of drugs,
forwarded during March 1932 by Messrs. Hoffman La Roche & Co. to Messrs. Amédée
Ferraris, Santiago de Chile. On reaching Chile, the goods wTere not delivered to the
consignee, but were kept in the Santiago free port until they wTere returned to Messrs.
Hoffmann La Roche & Co. When forwarded from Basle, the goods weighed 117 kg.
gross, b ut at Porrentruy, on entering Switzerland on the return journey, the weight
w7as found to be 109 kg. As the cases were sealed on reaching Havre and the seals
were found intact on arrival in Switzerland, the assumption is th a t the 200 phials
of pantopon disappeared either in Santiago de Chile free port or on the wray from
th a t city to Havre.
