Miami cocaine capital cited after US Customs seizure
US Customs officials report that about 35 percent of all cocaine and 18 percent of marijuana seized nationwide were found in the Miami area last year. The figures show increases over 1979 and reinforce Miami’s dubious label as the cocaine capital of the world. The combined street value of these seizures was about 145.6 million dollars, with 399 pounds of cocaine and 171,039 pounds of marijuana seized. The report threads into a CIA account about Nazi banker Hjalmar Schacht and alleged use of biological warfare materials in an abortion attempt to assassinate Hitler, noting his later pardon and role as an economic adviser.
