The Public Prosecution Service has demanded prison terms of five and four years against three Mexican men before the court in Arnhem for producing crystal meth in an illegal laboratory. On Thursday, the public prosecutor also demanded five and four years in prison for two men from Zevenaar and Arnhem in this case.

Cooks
The Mexican cooks were flown in to produce methamphetamine here, the prosecutor said. The Public Prosecution Service wants the men to pay an amount of 106,961.40 euros in criminally obtained money in addition to the prison sentence.

Shed
On June 28 last year, the police raided the warehouse in Arnhem containing the drug lab. The police had received several signals about the building. A living area had been set up in the warehouse, where the police found the three Mexican suspects during the raid.

The police then found a hidden hatch that gave access to a professional drug lab, intended to produce or process synthetic drugs on a large scale.
