(Central News Agency reporter Hong Xue-Guang, Kinmen 17th) Kinmen prosecutors and the Customs Administration successfully intercepted a man surnamed Wang at the Kinmen Shuitou Pier on the Mini Three Links route yesterday. He was attempting to smuggle 5 kg of the Category 4 narcotic precursor for Ketamine. After further questioning by prosecutors, Wang was deemed highly suspected of the severe crime of transporting narcotics, and a request to detain him incommunicado was approved this afternoon.
The Kinmen District Prosecutors Office issued a press release this afternoon stating that, in order to implement the government's determination to combat drugs and stop narcotics at the border, the Kinmen District Prosecutors Office closely cooperated with the Offshore Islands Dispatch Section of the Kaohsiung Airport Branch (Customs Administration, Ministry of Finance) and the Fujian Provincial Investigation Division (Investigation Bureau, Ministry of Justice).
Customs officers stationed at Kinmen Shuitou Pier successfully intercepted a man surnamed Wang, commonly known as a "parallel trader" (water guest), during an inspection yesterday. Wang used the "Mini Three Links" route to attempt to smuggle the Category 4 narcotic precursor, which can be used to manufacture the Category 3 narcotic Ketamine. The total weight was 5 kilograms.
Upon discovery, customs officers immediately notified relevant authorities, and the prosecutor's office assigned Prosecutor Chen Dai-Jun to direct the investigation. After questioning, prosecutors determined that Wang was highly suspected of violating the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act for transporting drugs, and applied to the Fujian Kinmen District Court for his detention incommunicado, which was approved this afternoon.
The Kinmen District Prosecutors Office stated that the seized precursor is a crucial material for manufacturing Ketamine. If it had not been intercepted in time, it would have been processed into a large amount of narcotics, severely endangering public health and social security. (Editor: Chen Ren-Hua) 1150417
