Open questions the AI reported
The hashish was found in the car and the cocaine on the men at the police station; the sources describe them separately but do not say whether the men admitted selling drugs or gave any explanation.
The judge's orders are precautionary measures pending further proceedings, not a conviction; no trial outcome is reported.
The two men are identified only as foreign nationals resident in Rovigo province; no names, ages or nationalities were published.
No cannabis street value, no number of hashish doses and no court date were published.
Il Gazzettino and Polesine24 carry the same police statement and the same weights; they were not added as separate citations because the headquarters statement and Rovigo.News already carry them.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Questura di Rovigo, Polizia di Stato: The other must report to the judicial police four times a week, stay in Adria and remain at home between 19:00 and 07:00.
Il Gazzettino describes the men as giving a very nervous impression, where the recorded account says they gave no clear account of where they came from; the two accounts differ in emphasis rather than in the facts recorded.
State Police arrested a 48-year-old Italian man in Sesto San Giovanni after finding about 2 kg of hashish in a shopping bag near his home. A search found 50 grams of marijuana and cash; a Monza court validated the arrest and ordered him to report to the judicial police.
Police in Ficarazzi arrested a 29-year-old man from Palermo after finding 10 hashish wraps and 145 euros near Piazza San Pio. A search of his home seized two further blocks weighing 49.40 grams, and he was held for validation of the arrest.
Carabinieri in Zagarolo arrested a 44-year-old man after personal and home searches found 50 grams of cocaine in 82 doses and 7 grams of marijuana. The man was held for a fast-track validation hearing after officers also seized 95 euros and a mobile phone.
State police dog Rex led officers to a Catania home where a 20-year-old had hidden 252 grams of marijuana and 34 grams of hashish with a scale and vacuum sealer. The man was arrested for possession with intent to deal and held for a fast-track trial.
