69-year-old arrested in Sezze with 110 g of marijuana and 1,000 seeds
Carabinieri in Sezze arrested a 69-year-old local man after stopping him on a moped without a plate and finding a folding knife, then finding about 110 grams of marijuana and almost 1,000 cannabis seeds at his home. A judge later validated the arrest, ordered no precautionary measure so he was released, and adjourned the fast-track trial to 24 November.
Carabinieri from the Sezze station arrested a 69-year-old local man on the spot
for possessing drugs with intent to deal.[1][2][3]Officers stopped him during an
ordinary territorial control patrol while he rode a moped that had no number
plate and while he lacked driving and registration documents.[4][5][2]The further
check found he was carrying a folding knife of a prohibited type.[4][5][6]
A search of his home turned up about 110 grams of marijuana, kept in a bag and
in several plastic containers.[4][5][2][7][3]Officers also found almost 1,000 seeds of
Indian hemp in the house.[4][2][6]The drug and the knife were seized and are to be
sent for laboratory analysis on the instructions of the Latina public
prosecutor’s office.[1][2]The moped was placed under administrative seizure.[4][2][6]
He was also reported at liberty for carrying weapons or objects capable of
causing offence.[1][2]He was taken to the security cells of the Latina
provincial Carabinieri command to await a validation hearing under the
fast-track procedure, at the disposal of the judiciary.[4][5][2][7][6]
He was already known to the police, the account adds.[8][2]The marijuana is to be analysed in a laboratory on the instructions of the Latina public prosecutor’s office.[8]
Single judge Valentina Mongillo of the Latina court validated the arrest at the end of the first fast-track hearing step and adjourned the trial to 24 November to grant defence time, with the man assisted by lawyer Emanuele Ceccano.[3]No precautionary measure was imposed and the 69-year-old was released.[3]

The reports give the date only as the afternoon of the previous day; 5 November 2026 is calculated from the 6 November publication date.
The marijuana weight is given only as approximately 110 grams and the seeds only as almost 1,000, so neither is an exact figure.
No validation-hearing result or later court outcome is reported.
Both accounts reproduce the same Carabinieri statement and carry the same handout photo, so they are not independent.
No value estimate for the marijuana was published.
h24 notizie reproduces the same Carabinieri statement as the outlets already cited and adds no new detail, so it is not independent reporting.
The page gives the stop only as the afternoon of the previous day; 5 November 2026 is calculated from its 6 November publication date.
Mondoreale reproduces the same Carabinieri statement as the outlets already cited and carries no photo of the event, only a site logo image, so it is not independent reporting.
Lazio TV reproduces the same Carabinieri statement and carries a handout photo of the seizure, so it is not independent reporting.
This account words the knife allegation both as carrying weapons or objects capable of offence and as illegal possession of objects capable of offence, so the exact charge wording stays unclear.
The article gives no separate date for the validation hearing; 8 November 2026 is its publication date used as the date of this update.
The outcome of the trial adjourned to 24 November is not yet known.
