On Friday a patrol from the Aliquota Radiomobile of the Amelia company, together

NUE 112 over a fierce quarrel with her son, who was in a state of strong
agitation.[1]During the intervention the minor spontaneously handed over to
officers just under 18 grams of hashish, already split into four wrappers ready
for sale, and two fully working electronic precision scales, all kept in his
bedroom.[1]
The follow-up personal and home searches found nothing more.[1]On the order
of the duty prosecutor at the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office in Perugia, the minor
was brought to a directissima validation hearing at the Juvenile Court in the
provincial capital; the judge confirmed the arrest and applied the precautionary
measure of house arrest, allowing him to continue attending school provided he
was accompanied by his parents.[1]The ANSA wire report confirms the court
outcome: at the end of the directissima validation hearing the judge confirmed
the arrest and applied the precautionary measure of house arrest on the
sixteen-year-old, letting him keep attending school as long as he was
accompanied by his parents.[2]
