Given the estimated US$70 billion being made each year in Asia s drug trade, regional experts say recent arrests of two key drug figures are seen as unlikely to dent the long-term flow of narcotics.
Dutch police said in January they had arrested Tse Chi Lop, allegedly the leader of the Asian drug syndicate known as The Company or Sam Gor (Brother No. 3 in Cantonese). It is alleged to have made tens of billions of dollars each year off drugs in the region. Then in February, it was announced that Lee Chung Chak, suspected of being a second leader of the syndicate, had been arrested.
