Man reported in Padua with 240 g of hashish and marijuana
Guardia di Finanza officers in Padua reported a lower-Padua resident after a controlled delivery of a Czech parcel holding 12 kg of plant material laced with a synthetic cannabinoid. At his home they seized 155 g of hashish and 85 g of marijuana with scales and a money ledger; only the 240 g home seizure is counted as cannabis.

Padua provincial Guardia di Finanza officers, coordinated by the local
prosecutor, reported a Padua man as the recipient of a 12 kg shipment of
marijuana described as laced with latest-generation synthetic cannabinoids.[1][2][3]The case is in the preliminary-investigation phase and the suspect must be
presumed not guilty until any final conviction.[1][3]Investigators traced the
case to checks on foreign parcels at a shipping company, where dog units
signalled a suspect parcel from the Czech Republic that was opened with judicial
authorisation to reveal 12 kg of marijuana.[1][2][3]Officers then ran a controlled
delivery, letting the parcel reach its recipient, a resident of the lower Padua
area who acknowledged and collected it and was searched in flagrante.[1][2]
At the suspect’s home officers seized155 grams of hashish and 85 grams of
marijuana, with two precision scales and a handwritten agenda recording money
exchanges that in the prosecution hypothesis point to dealing.[4][2][3]Initial
tests on the parcel material showed low THC, but deeper forensic toxicology
tests in Padua found MDMB-4en-PINACA, a highly potent synthetic cannabinoid, so
the 12 kg bulk quantity is not counted in the cannabis total recorded here.[1][2]
The Guardia di Finanza describes this as a dangerous evolution in which plant
bases are used to carry undeclared synthetic drugs, warning that low-THC
products can conceal highly dangerous substances.[1]The command says its 2026
operations in this sector had already led to seizures of more than 400 kg of
narcotics.[1][2]
No separate date for the checks, controlled delivery or home search was published; 4 November 2026 is the publication date used as the incident date.
The 12 kg parcel quantity is excluded from cannabis figures because tests showed low THC with MDMB-4en-PINACA and the plant base described as a vehicle for synthetic drugs.
The reported 2026 total of more than 400 kg covers all narcotics and is therefore excluded from cannabis figures.
The man was reported at liberty; no arrest detention, charge detail or court outcome was reported.
The submitted page writes 85 marijuana without a unit; the second account confirms 85 grams, used for the 0.24 kg total.
No media entry is included because the submitted page image is a February 2026 screenshot and the second page image is labelled as an archive institutional photo, neither established to show this seizure.
Both accounts reproduce the Guardia di Finanza press note; no separate agency statement was opened directly.
The La Piazza Web page carries a photo captioned for this seizure without a stated credit, which does not by itself establish that it shows this seizure, so no media entry is added.

Carabinieri found a drug store in cellars at the Taverna del Ferro complex in San Giovanni a Teduccio, seizing 40 hashish blocks weighing about 4 kg and 20 ready-made doses. The find came during high-impact checks across three Naples districts that also uncovered electricity theft and an unauthorised funeral business.
Oristano police identified 129 people, including 88 minors, during youth-focused checks and reported two people for drug possession. Officers seized 3.9 grams of hashish, including 3 grams found outside the Don Deodato Meloni school with a dog unit.
Pavia State Police reported two youths at liberty for joint drug possession after they fled a check near Piazza Salvo D'Acquisto and discarded hashish. Officers recovered about 20 grams in two wraps; one youth also allegedly breached a residence order.
Carabinieri in Floridia reported an 18-year-old at liberty for alleged possession of drugs with intent to deal. Officers seized an approximately 80-gram hashish block with other packaged doses and one courtyard cannabis plant for laboratory analysis.
