Cagliari worker, 28, arrested with 1 kg of cocaine and 10 g of marijuana
Carabinieri in Cagliari arrested a 28-year-old worker after a street check led them to his home, where they seized about a kilogram of cocaine, more than ten grams of marijuana, packaging material and more than 3,000 euros in cash. He was taken to the Uta prison to await the judicial authority, and only the cannabis portion of the haul is counted here.
Carabinieri of the Cagliari company arrested a 28-year-old worker from the city,
already known to police, on suspicion of drug possession and dealing.[1][2]Officers on a routine patrol spotted him walking along a street in the city
centre and he quickened his pace as they approached, which prompted them to stop
and identify him.[1][2]The stop and searches took place the day before the
accounts were published.[3]
A search of his person and then of his home found about one kilogram of cocaine
packed in around thirty sealed wrappers.[1][2]The same searches turned up more
than ten grams of marijuana.[1][4][2]ANSA places the marijuana at a dozen or so
grams, seized along with the cocaine and 3,000 euros in cash.[5]Officers also
seized packaging material and more than 3,000 euros in cash in notes of various
values, which investigators consider likely proceeds of dealing.[6][2]
He was arrested and taken to the Uta prison, the Casa Circondariale di
Cagliari-Uta, to await decisions by the judicial authority.[1][2]La Nuova
Sardegna says the man already had drug convictions on record.[7]The operation
was carried out during the patrols the Carabinieri run to curb drug trafficking
and dealing in the Cagliari area.[1]

The Carabinieri statement gives no day for the stop and searches. CronacaOnline places the operation on the day before its 9 November 2026 publication, so 8 November is used, while the other accounts give only their publication date.
The marijuana weight is given only as more than ten grams, or a dozen or so grams, and no weighing split between the street search and the home search was published.
The cocaine weight is stated only as about one kilogram and is not included in the cannabis figures because it is not a cannabis product and the haul is mixed.
No charge beyond drug possession is spelled out in the Carabinieri statement, though ANSA and L'Unione Sarda describe possession for the purpose of dealing.
No plea, validation hearing or court outcome was reported, and the suspect is referred to only by age and occupation.
The 3,000-euro cash figure is an investigators' estimate of dealing proceeds, given as more than 3,000 euros rather than an exact amount.
La Nuova Sardegna dates the operation to 8 October 2026 in its text, which conflicts with the day-before-publication account and appears to be a typographical error.
The submitted Cagliaripad page carries one uncaptioned image whose filename refers to drugs in Cagliari but whose caption and credit do not confirm it shows this seizure, so only the CronacaOnline photo is listed.
The CronacaOnline photo shows drugs and cash captioned as seized in Cagliari by the Carabinieri, but the page gives no separate photographer or agency credit line.
The Chinese edition gives the marijuana as about 10 grams, while the Italian editions give 'more than ten grams' or a dozen or so grams; the tracker keeps 10 grams.
The page is an automatically translated edition of the Italian article, as its own footer states.
The page has a single uncaptioned image with no alt text or credit, so it is not added as media.
CagliariToday gives the marijuana only as about ten grams and no separate weighing of the street and home searches.
