https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.co ... index.html Italian police seize over $1 billion of 'ISIS-made' Captagon amphetamines By Jack Guy, Stephanie Halasz and Valentina DiDonato, CNN Updated 6:33 AM EDT, Wed July 01, 2020 (CNN)Police in Italy have confiscated a huge shipment of 14 metric tonnes (15.4 US tons) of amphetamines which they say was produced by ISIS in Syria. Officers tracked three suspect containers to the port of Salerno in southwest Italy and found 84 million pills with a market value of €1 billion ($1.12 billion) inside paper cylinders for industrial use, the Guardia di Finanza financial police said in a statement Wednesday. Investigators said the bust is the largest drug haul in the world. The pills carried the "Captagon" logo, which "distinguishes the 'drug of Jihad,'" according to the statement. "It is known that ISIS/Daesh finances its terrorist activities in large part with the trafficking of synthetic drugs produced largely in Syria, which has become the leading world producer of amphetamines in recent years," police said. "According to the DEA (US Drug Enforcement Administration), ISIS makes wide use of these drugs in all the territories over which it exerts influence and controls its sale." The group is also able to easily produce large quantities of synthetic drugs to sell on global markets, raising huge amounts of money, added police. The investigation and bust were carried out on a decree from the Naples public prosecutor, the statement added. Police believe the drugs were intended for distribution in Europe by various organized crime groups.

In the 70's 80's Captagon was a famous party drug in European too. I heard Bulgarian OC was at the beginning highly involved in captagon markets. Now they change the direction. Guys in syria are now produce this pills. Another Bust in greeceIn Syria various groups are involved. It exist manufacturers in area controlled by Turkish backed militias. In other area's syria Regime guys are involved. I have some doubts that Hisbullah are directly involved. But i'm sute they collect some "taxes".
