Bush complains again about Dutch Drug Policy

Washington

The United States persist in their criticism over the Dutch approach of
drugs. In a yearly report, sent to Congress by the White House
yesterday, President Bush states among other things that "the dutch fail
to deal adequately with the war against the synthetic drugs trade."

The Dutch liberal legislation and the reluctancy to enforce more severe
laws on money laundering by drug producers contributes to the trade in
illegal drugs. "We feel the need to do more and work harder to disrupt
the criminal organisations responsible for the production and
international trade in synthetic drugs" according to Bush.

Financial research

"We remain concerned about obstacles against mutual legal assistance and
extradictions by The Netherlands" according to Bush. The war against
drugs would be enhanced if Washington would have its way. "First of all
we want to use financial research to fully exploit the possibilities
available in anti money laundering legislation.
Financial investigators should find drug gangs, dismantle them and seize
the profits from drug trade."
