The person who went to collect it told officers he did not know what it contained and said a young man had asked him to do it.[1] The finds totalled about 2 kg of hashish, the Guardia di Finanza said.[2]

Officers found the 19-year-old later at a bar in the city.[2] The case reached court on Saturday 24 October for a hearing to validate the arrest.[3] Judge Sara Pelicci ordered him held in custody at Bancali prison in Sassari, as prosecutor Giovanni Dore had requested.[1]
