Drugs Manufacturing in Guinea concerns UN


New York, 06 Aug-(ANA)-The United Nations has expressed concern  over evidence recently uncovered in Guinea suggesting that undercover narcotics operations are producing illicit 
drugs on a large scale. 
 
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Interpol investigated a haul of chemicals 
seized by Government forces in mid-July.

 

UN spokesman Michele Montas said the investigation  revealed quantities far in excess of the 
legitimate demands of the country. 
 
“Among the evidence – the best found by the UN in West Africa to date – were 
tools for making counterfeit antibiotics, substances used to produce ecstasy, 
and solvents commonly used in cocaine and heroin processing,” said Ms. Montas. (ANA)
