Never before has such a high amount of amphetamine been confiscated. According to estimations made by SÁÁ, The National Center of Addiction Medicine, the base could produce enough amphetamine equal to the average amount consumed in Iceland in a year, or 300 kilos.
The women are both in their forties. Traveling with them was the five-year-old son of one of them. The Child Protection Agency immediately alerted the boy’s relatives who came to Iceland to bring him back to Germany.
