On the afternoon of 6 November 2026, Modena local police, working with a
drug-sniffing dog unit during anti-bullying checks at the coach station, noticed
two young people hanging around the area.[1]When one of the two saw the
officers he dropped a package into a flowerbed, which officers recovered and
found to contain about 30 grams of hashish.[1]The young man, who had no
documents on him, was taken to the local police headquarters for identification
and the seizure of the substance.[1]
On the basis that more drugs were likely in his home, in a comune neighbouring
Modena, officers carried out a home search.[1]In the search they found more
than three kilograms of hashish, cut into blocks of about 100 grams each,
together with some doses of cocaine, ecstasy tablets and a cash sum of over
28,000 euros.[1]
The 18-year-old was arrested on the charge of possession of narcotics for the
purpose of distribution.[1]On 9 November the investigating judge (gip)
validated the arrest and, at the prosecutor’s request, ordered pre-trial
detention in prison.[1]
