BOLIVIA - An Argentine chemist and two European nationals were arrested by the anti-narcotics forces in Bolivia: they are accused of operating a sophisticated handmade synthetic drug laboratory that produced chocolate impregnated with drugs, a modality hitherto unknown in The country, police said.

"The house has been raided where a home laboratory has been found and where the world's most powerful synthetic drugs were manufactured," Santiago Delgadillo, director of the Special Anti-Drug Trafficking Force (FELCN), told the press. The detainees are Argentinean chemist Alejandro Ariel Mag Gaw (35), Belgian Johan Nicolás Bolensi (52) and French-Dutch Celine Audrey Stephanie Maake Brackhuis (36).

The police chief detailed that the hallucinogen was produced based on a type of fungus (known as cucumelo) imported from Argentina. After a series of chemical combinations, the traffickers obtained a chocolate impregnated with the drug.

The laboratory operated operated in the south of the city of La Paz, near a tourist circuit. Each chocolate was sold at $ 20 in discos and pubs in the capital. The agents also seized a substance called DMT-Dimethylamino, made with a plant of Brazilian origin (Jurema Preta), which the detainees allegedly ground to extract the alkaloid and then mixed with thinner. After cooling it, they turned it into glass to be consumed by inhalation.

Marco Antonio Álvarez, deputy director of FELCN, indicated that the products detected are "something new" in La Paz, because it is the first time that the narcotics police seize this type of hallucinogens.
