Carabinieri arrested a 50-year-old hotel manager and a 21-year-old man in a hotel in Aprilia on suspicion of possessing drugs for dealing.[1] The search followed an investigation that had documented dealing inside the accommodation and was ordered by the Latina public prosecutor’s office.[1]

In the manager’s room officers found almost 60 grams of marijuana, a small unquantified amount of hashish, one gram of crack, packaging material, a precision scale and about 400 euros in cash seen as possible dealing proceeds.[1] In another room, occupied by the 21-year-old who was not registered as a guest, officers seized about 15 grams of cocaine and cash.[1] Police said both men were already known to police for specific prior offences.[1]

The manager was also reported for facilitating drug use, and a procedure was started to ask the Latina police headquarters to suspend the hotel’s licence.[1] All drugs and items were seized, and both suspects remain presumed innocent until any final conviction.[1]
