The paradise of cocaine in Europe is Spain. Someone is describing the story of cocaine in brutal and naked strokes. Perez Abellan is a virtuous story teller of crime and his reports are excellent. It's bad to say, but I have lots of fun listening to him. Cocaine is the "drug in fashion" and "a total corrupter". There are lately in the country services door-to-door of tele-coke. In my beloved country, the amounts of this drug are as vast as the sands of the desert. (In the North, the world of ETA swarms around it). The cocaine is apprehended sometimes and locked in cells, basements or cabinets in Police dependences. But it is rarely burned. The drug is normally stored in such compartments without being routinely tested and it is ignored whether the coke keeps being coke or has been replaced by sugar. Like that. From time to time, we learn about this cases: years ago 150 kg of cocaine vanished from a Police office in Seville and this very last weekend, more than twice that amount has been robbed from a Safety deposit in Malaga. They are not isolated cases and some people doubt the official versions. Precisely, after many years of inquires, not a single grame of the coke abducted in Seville has been found (!).
In another sense, there are gangs of criminals getting specialized in parasiting dealers by briberies or, directly, by means of robbery and extorsion: definitely, it is a much, much cheaper and safe way to become rich than producing, distributing and selling it.
The 80s was especially a dark age for the youth, as many of them fell into the claws of the cocaine and heroine. I was a kid, but I could even testify putting together the cluster of memories that reached my ears or eyes. Today, I think many of us know the case of at least one individual in their late 30s or early 40s, more or less close, who died or survived to that period. The adult who survived is a train wreck, suffering from chronic diseases of the nervous system and a myriad of physical problems.
The persistance of cocaine in the underground has been related to some crimes commited by common men or women, apparently without any motive. One example is the crime occurred in a church late in the last September in Madrid: one man, 34, killed a pregnant woman, wounded another and then shooted himself in the mouth.
The investigations have found no relation whatsoever between the victims and the criminal... . However, it is widely known that if cocaine is consumed in large quantities for long periods, it will make the victim prone to a variaty of psychiatric problems, paranoia, among them... .
