The correctional court in Albertville sentenced a 20-year-old young mother to six months’ suspended imprisonment for acting as driver for her boyfriend’s cannabis deliveries.[1] The court also dispensed her from entry of the conviction on her criminal record, in line with the defence plea by Me Claudio Adduci.[1] Her 34-year-old boyfriend admitted he had used her as his regular driver several times a week because his own driving licence had been withdrawn.[1] The young woman told the judges she knew nothing about his dealing and blamed use of her mobile phone during the trips, an account the presiding judge rejected given the closeness inside the car and the repeated journeys.[1]
Albertville police began watching a car in early January 2026 after an anonymous report described regular movements around town suspected of concealing drug deals.[1] On 13 January officers following the car watched a buyer on a residence car park pay 100 euros for cannabis resin to the car’s passenger before they intervened.[1] Inside the stopped car were the 34-year-old suspect, the young woman at the wheel and her one-year-old baby.[1] A search of the man’s home then recovered 200 grams of resin, 5,000 euros in cash and packaging equipment.[1]
The prosecution argued she was not the mastermind but had become an accomplice by holding the wheel, and it sought a dissuasive penalty.[1] The tribunal followed those requisitions and imposed the six-month suspended term.[1]
The same surveillance was described by the Albertville police account as a tail that led to a residence car park where officers stopped a person who had just bought 100 euros of cannabis from the signalled vehicle’s passenger.[2]
The Albertville case was presented as a 20-year-old woman tried for complicity in the cannabis dealing led by her boyfriend and convicted by the Albertville correctional court.[2]
