Officers of the Crotone flying squad arrested a man on an execution order issued by the Catanzaro surveillance magistrate, who must now serve a final sentence of one year and six months for possessing drugs for sale.[1][2][3] Because the conviction is final, the sentence was converted from prison to detention at home, and CrotoneOk reported he will serve it under house arrest.[1]

In the same territory-control work, Volanti officers reported six people to the prefect of Crotone for possessing drugs for personal use, seizing 4.01 grams of cocaine and 3.19 grams of hashish.[1][2][3] Officers also found five doses of hashish, weighing 4.75 grams in total, and seized them against unknown persons.[1][2][3] A report to the prefect for personal use is an administrative measure, not a criminal charge, and police did not say where the cannabis was seized.[4]

Two people were reported to the judicial authority for carrying altered or forged identity cards, where technical checks found anomalies including the missing chip of electronic identity cards.[1][2] Over the last week the flying squad identified 2,050 people, 456 of them with previous records, checked 1,047 vehicles and issued seven highway code fines.[1][2] The services were ordered by Crotone police chief Renato Panvino as part of the force’s territory-prevention plan.[1][2]

In a separate seizure the following day, officers found 56.6 grams of suspected hashish and 1 gram of suspected marijuana in a plastic bag left with unknown persons.[5]
