CIA Drug and Narcotic Trade and Trafficking in Europe PART 4
CIA
ran active drug rings in Europe immediately after the Second World War
and had covert operations in France, Sicily , Italy and Greece from
late 1940s to 1950s. CIA arms, money and disinformation helped
organised Corsican criminal syndicates in Marseilles to control labour
unions in France. The Corsican criminals in partnership with CIA gained
political influence and controlled the docks through which the mafia
trafficked in drugs like heroin. CIA and the mafia jointly opened heroin
laboratories in Marseilles in 951.
From 1980s to 1990s CIA
actively supported Moujahedeen rebels fighting the Soviet supported
government in Afghanistan in drug trafficking . It helped Gulbuddin
Hetmayar one of the leading drug lords and heroin refiner in
transporting the drugs. CIA planes carried his heroin to USA and Western
Europe.
CIA and its partners the crime syndicates maintain large
organisations capable of carrying out covert operations without fear of
detection. The two had developed very close natural bond. In 1950 CIA
used a legion of thugs to break a communist dock strike in Marseilles.
When CIA attempted to assassinate Fidel Castro in the 1960s he employed
American mafia syndicates
CIA operatives directly assissted
underworld narcotic traffickers in its fight against communism and the
left. CIA had allied itself with heroin merchants in Laos, opium dealers
in Burma, military drug lords in Thailand, Afghhanistan, and Panama,
Columbia cocaine cartels in Nicaragua and Costa Rica and guerilla opium
armies in Afghanistan.
In the mid 1940s to prevent left wing
influence in Western Europe CIA intervened covertly in the internal
politics of Italy, France, Greece and Sicily. After taking control of
Sicily CIA appointed a Sicilian mafia leader, Don Cologero Vizzini as
mayor of Villalba and Genco Russo as mayor of Mussumel as well as other
leaders as mayors of other Sicilian towns and cities. Eventuallly
Sicilian mafia had full control of politics in Sicily as well as the
narcotic trade.
In 1946 an Italian mafia boss Salvatore Lucky
Luciano was deported from New York to Italy. Luciano in partnership
with CIA built the most powerful criminal syndicate in USA to deal with
heroin trafficking. He was able to build an international narcotics
syndicate . He was able to move morphine from Middle East to Europe
where it was transformed into heroin and exported in large quantities to
US without suffering any arrest or seizure. The number of drug addicts
in US increased tremendously in the 1960s. Luciano and his friends
became multi millionaires .
CIA drug partners in France the
Corsican mafia allied strongly with the French Socialist Party and in
return enjoyed political protection from France intelligence service and
was allowed to operate its heroin laboratories for decades without
being disturbed.

Since nobody wants to make a comment about the CIA, let me give you one comment.
The US CIA comprises many agents. Some of these are bad apples but the system either could not detect them of did not spend enough time to scrutinize each and every of their agents/operatives properly. This happens to many big organizations.
