TESTIMONY OF FRANCES G. KNIGHT
...The Brotherhood's hashish smuggling operation is headed by one experienced smuggler who coordinates the worldwide illegal drug traffic.
To finance the smuggling operation, a group of Brotherhood members or their
friends will combine their finances. A portion of the money will be advanced to the top smuggler to make arrangements to purchase the load cf hashish, obtain false identifications and pay expenses.
If a car is to be used in the smuggling operation, it is usually purchased in the U.S. and fitted with hidden compartments. The vehicle is then shipped to
Afghanistan.
One of the smuggling team, the "load man," will travel to Afghanistan to
make the purchase of the hashish. In Afghanistan the Brotherhood deals with
Amanullah Salam Tokhi and his brother Hayatuuah Tokhi to obtain the "finest quality" hashish. The Tokhi brothers were also indicted for their part in the Brotherhood's narcotics running scheme.
"When the vehicle is loaded with hashish it is taken out of Afghanistan supplied with new, false registration, shipped back to the U.S., usually to a port known not to have major narcotics problems.
When the vehicle arrives, it is picked up by another member of the Brotherhood and the shipment is never in the true name of the cult member. The Brotherhood's head smuggler is then informed and makes arrangements for the distribution of the hashish load to the investors and receives the balance of the money.
The year long investigation has revealed that the Brotherhood uses numer-
ous businesses as fronts for the sale and distribution of the hashish, LSD, and cocaine. Brotherhood members have been tied to health food shops, juice bars, psychedelic shops, record stores, surf equipment stores, used car lots, a rug company and a beach club.
The results of today's task force operation will severely undercut the leadership of this drug subculture which has been a strong influence, especially among young people, since the early 1960's.
