Officers of the Padova police headquarters’ mobile squad arrested a 24-year-old
man who was born in Morocco and lives in Padova on suspicion of possessing drugs
for dealing and resisting a public official.[1]The arrest came on the evening
of Saturday 7 November 2026, at a garage in a residential block in a side street
off via Bembo, after residents and shopkeepers reported a stream of young people
making brief, repeated visits.[2]Plain-clothes officers of the mobile squad’s
unit for widespread crime waited for the man to come out of the garage and
searched him and the lock-up.[1]
Police found more than 320 grams of hashish, split into blocks and ready-made
doses, and reported it at that figure throughout their statement, despite a
summary line giving 350 grams.[1]They also seized a precision scale,
packaging material, a knife used to cut the hashish and more than 8,000 euros in
cash that investigators considered proceeds of dealing.[3]
The man has previous convictions for property crimes, assault and resisting a
public official, including a 2022 sentence of five months and 10 days for
aggravated theft.[1]He was taken to Padova’s Due Palazzi prison and held at
the disposal of the Padova public prosecutor’s office, pending a validation
hearing.[2]

The police statement gives 'more than 320 grams' in its body but 350 grams in its summary line; the report uses the repeated 320-gram figure.
Only an approximate quantity is published ('oltre 320 grammi'), so 0.32 kg is the minimum stated, not an exact weight.
The police statement calls the suspect an Italian citizen born in Morocco; no name or exact status is published.
No validation hearing, charge filing or court outcome had been reported as of 9 November 2026.
