In Alto Polesine, Carabinieri officers identified and detained three suspected dealers, two Albanian citizens and one Moroccan citizen, active between Occhiobello and Fiesso Umbertiano.[1] The three are described as having acted independently, with no joint dealing currently alleged.[1] All three arrests were validated by the judicial authority.[1]
House searches recovered over 2.4 kilograms of marijuana, more than 2.1 kilograms of hashish and 320 grams of cocaine.[1] The largest store was in the Occhiobello home of one of the Albanian citizens: 320 grams of cocaine, 1.963 kilograms of hashish and 1.604 kilograms of marijuana.[1] Officers also recovered 380 euros, treated by investigators as possible proceeds of dealing, with equipment for weighing and packaging drugs.[1] The Rovigo prosecution requested and obtained precautionary custody in prison for that suspect.[1]
A Moroccan citizen also living in Occhiobello was found at home with 750 grams of marijuana and 153 grams of hashish.[1] He was placed under house arrest.[1] A second Albanian citizen was found at his home in Fiesso Umbertiano with 71 grams of marijuana and weighing equipment.[1] He was ordered to report daily to the judicial police.[1] The last suspect’s sister was investigated without arrest on suspicion of aiding him.[1] She allegedly tried during the search to hide part of her brother’s drugs.[1]
