French Police Hunt Million
Dollar Gold Smuggling Ring
' .. i' By Thomas Bardie
PARIS (INS) The arrest of threei leaders of an International
fold-running gang have put French police on the trail of a million
dollar smuggling ring. ' j !
The smugglers are no amateurs, French agents pointed out. In
stead, they are highly-trained professionals skilled in the use of air
plane, small boats and trucks. j
French National Security police,
working in conjunction with Bri
tain's Scotland Yard, said the ring
may have had a hand in the sen
sational Aga Kahn and Arpels
Jewel robberies last summer. Their
specialty, however, seems to be
traffic in gold and gold pieces.
Arrest Three More
The tip-off came when French
police arrested Frederic Ebel, a
Swiss, director of an international
"transport agency" in Geneva. He
was charged with slipping millions
of francs worth of gold into France
from Switzerland, j
Three additional members have
been rounded up. Gerard Goutei
and Alwin Kuhn, both pilots, and
Pierre Tourais, a jeweler. All were
charged with smuggling gold into
France from Switzerland, where
the market is "free" and gold can
be purchased more j cheaply than
on the French black market.
GouteL 39-year-old Frenchman
who was arrested at Lyon, was re- i
ported by police to have owned a
villa, half of a large apartment
house in Switzerland, two air
planes and a luxurious apartment
at Lyon all the result of smuggl
ing profits.
Kuhn, 25 -year -old Swiss, was
caught immediately: after landing
at a small airfield near the French
Swiss border. In the plane were 600
pounds of gold, authorities said.
Mysterfona "Mr. B
That their operations are like
something from an E. Philip Op
penheim novel is illustrated by an
incident which took place last Feb
ruary at Dieppe, France, on the
Channel coast. Customs officials
there arrested three Englishmen
and one Frenchman for attempt
ing to smuggle 26,000 pounds ster
ling into France aboard a small
yacht. I
Soon, however, a mysterious
"Mr. B. arrived on the scene,
paid $30,000 bail, and then disap
peared with his four friends. The
"Mr. B . . later was identified
by police as Ebel,
Ebel, who already operated two
airlines one in England, another
in Switzerland then decided to
open up a trucking firm between
France and Switzerland. Police
said the gold was hidden in tubes
of aluminum which passed as the
official cargo of the trucks.
OVermle Druggist
Ebel was so greedy for profits
at this point that officials say he
refused to pay even $759 to one of
his henchmen who had managed
the syndicate's extension trucking
operations in the south of France.
Ebel told the trucker that his bill
was "too high.-
' Ebel wa arrested through in
formation supplied by Richard Ste
inworth, Geneva druggist who was
caught at Orly airfield, Paris, with
a suitcase containing 50 pounds of
gold, j 1 I
Steinworth, in keeping with the
Oppenheim tradition, insisted at
first that he was a delegate to the
World Health organization in Gen
eva, and therefore should be af
forded diplomatic : immunity. His
request j was; overruled.
