Seems like the real target of the investigation may be the dealers, not Amy.

AMY WINEHOUSE was arrested yesterday over The Sun’s sensational video showing her smoking crack.
The pop diva looked anguished and dishevelled as she arrived at a police station in a people carrier driven by a minder.
She was held on suspicion of possessing drugs after turning up at the East London nick at 1pm by prior arrangement. Sir BOB GELDOF’s daughter PEACHES will be questioned by cops tomorrow after she was also recorded buying drugs off the same dealer, it is alleged.
Detectives want both women to give statements against the pusher who is suspected of trying to frame them.Amy, 24 — renowned for her song Rehab with the line, ‘They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no’ — was filmed smoking crack and snorting cocaine and powdered ecstasy.
The covert 19-minute clip, taken in January, was found on a memory stick. Clips of Peaches, 19, offering £190 to a pusher were found on the same stick.She is heard to say: “I need to get all that stuff off you tonight. Tomorrow I need Valium.”
In March police arrested Jonny Blagrove, 34, and his girlfriend Cara Burton, 22, on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs.
Their arrests form a major part of the probe into an alleged drug supply operation in which celebrities were targeted.
They were allegedly filmed taking drugs and then threatened with exposure unless they paid bribes. One source told The Sun: “Those being brought in for questioning this week will be asked to give statements about the people who supplied them with drugs.
“The dealers are the targets of the investigation.” Psychiatrists and lawyers were called in to see jittery Amy before yesterday’s appointment. And the star, who wore a lime green vest, was said to have sobbed uncontrollably once inside Limehouse nick.
Detectives from Tower Hamlets CID initially told her they planned to keep her in until today, it was claimed. But she was released on bail late last night after she calmed down and co-operated.
A Met spokesman said: “We can confirm that a 24-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of possessing controlled drugs when she attended a police station by prior arrangement at 1pm today. The arrest was part of an ongoing investigation.”
A report will be prepared for the Crown Prosecution Service. It is notoriously hard to prove possession of drugs unless the substance is found on the person arrested. The Metropolitan Police previously launched a disastrous probe into the KATE MOSS cocaine video. Supermodel Kate, 34, did not face any charges.
Under the law, it has to be proved whether a substance being snorted is Class A — such as cocaine — or Class B like speed
