Up until 2014, no meth lab had ever been found in the Netherlands. Today, they are sprawling across the Dutch countryside. This year alone, 19 labs were found and dismantled as the Dutch police brace themselves for a veritable crystal meth tidal wave. “Mexico is traditionally specialized in the production of meth and we, as the Netherlands, have the dubious honor of being one of the main producers of MDMA and amphetamine. Those two worlds are now finding one another,” Andy Kraag, head of the Dutch Criminal Investigations Division, told The Daily Beast. The profit margins for crystal meth are crazy: […]

Late last year, Swedish Police reportedly raided former Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt’s apartment, where they found cocaine and arrested his heavily intoxicated son, Erik. Erik Reinfeldt, the son of Sweden’s former PM Fredrik Reinfeldt, has been fined for drug offences; late last year he was arrested during a humiliating drug raid on his father’s apartment on Eastmansvägen in central Stockholm, the news outlet Fria Tider reported. The scandal has been kept quiet since, but the details emerged during the sentencing. In the raid, which happened on 7 November 2019, the police found 25-year-old Erik heavily under the influence of drugs, the […]
Stephen Colbert admittedly had some trouble making fun of the Democratic National Convention last week. Thankfully, the Republican National Convention delivered him the gifts of Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. Going live after the RNC Monday night, The Late Show host began with the speech shouted into the void by “Trump Jr. girlfriend and vengeful banshee who will haunt your dreams, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who screamed this message of hope.” “If you want to see the socialist Biden-Harris future for our country, just take a look at California!” Guilfoyle exclaimed in her unhinged address. “I’m trying to look at California, but […]
Petter Northug, one of the world’s most decorated skiers of all time, is no stranger to controversy and has already been sentenced for drunk driving. Back then, however, he managed to pull a convincing comeback, swaying skeptics with a stunning performance. One of Norway’s most famous athletes of all time, “ski king” Petter Northug, has once again landed in hot water. The retired 34-year-old was caught speeding at 168kph on a 110 kph highway between Oslo and his home in Trondheim. The police suspected Northug had been driving under the influence of drugs. Blood samples were taken and Northug’s home was […]
Nano Mesa, who plays football for Spanish club Cadiz, has been forced to publish a drugs test result to prove he was sober during a controversial interview which went viral. Mesa was interviewed right after the club guaranteed its promotion to La Liga, causing a stir on social media with his behavior in front of the camera, which some deemed “strange” and “inappropriate.” READ MORE: Different league: Cristiano Ronaldo poised to set ANOTHER record as Juve star nears 50 GOALS in Premier League, La Liga, Serie A Cadiz returned to the top flight after a 14-year absence, having secured a six-point lead […]
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand—If this country’s spectacular nature reserves are the peaceful Shire of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Hobbits in Middle Earth, its notorious ganglands are our Mordor. “Police documents showed that there were over 7,000 gang members in New Zealand as of December 2019, up 50 percent in three years. ” The Bay of Plenty’s official tourism website gushes about the region’s “breathtaking views, beachside relaxation and year-round sun.” And New Zealand often is seen as an oasis of heavenly peace in a troubled world, its gorgeous sweeping mountain vistas made famous by Peter Jackson‘s Lord of the Rings movies. But an influx […]
“I’m in Eastern Ontario. Thousand Islands. Great Lakes. Doing what everyone else is doing in North America—trying to stay inside as much as possible,” Dan Aykroyd said on a phone call in April. Technically, he was outside at that moment. Aykroyd was walking around his family’s farm in Canada, which has the luxury of space and the drawbacks of weak cell service and several unfortunate incidents involving Aykroyd’s mouth and some wayward gnats. This summer marks the 40th anniversary of one of Aykroyd’s most famous and famously chaotic movies, The Blues Brothers. An outgrowth of the blues band Aykroyd and his […]
Considering the cheesy and unsubtle melodrama peddled by White Lines, it’s amazing that it takes until midway through its fourth episode before someone explains its metaphorical title (hint: it doesn’t just refer to cocaine!). Nonetheless, one doesn’t need to wait that long for wholesale absurdity to rear its head in this latest series from Money Heist mastermind Álex Pina, as the craziness begins early and then continues unabated for most of this Netflix import’s 10 roller-coaster installments. The modus operandi of this immoderate crime saga (premiering May 15) is to pile on the corniness at every turn, and in that respect, […]
