Turin’s investigating judge ordered precautionary measures against six people — three Moroccan citizens, one Albanian and two Italians — at the close of the ‘Driver’ investigation.[1] The measures ranged from prison to house arrest to a daily obligation to report to the judicial police.[1] Three of the six had already been arrested in flagrante during the wider investigation.[1] Across the whole investigation, 21 people were arrested, including an Italian man caught during house searches carried out when the measures were executed.[1]

Investigators seized about 700 kilograms of hashish, 70 kilograms of marijuana, 14 kilograms of cocaine and 500 ecstasy pills.[1] Officers also recovered four pistols with ammunition that came from a theft.[1] The Italian man arrested during the final searches held about 500 grams of hashish, 250 grams of marijuana and 7 grams of cocaine for dealing.[1] Earlier in the investigation, officers had already arrested 20 people in flagrante.[1]

The organisation was based in Turin province with branches in Liguria, Lombardy, Veneto and Lazio, and ran an established supply and distribution network for hashish, marijuana and cocaine.[1] Turin’s Squadra mobile developed the investigation between 2024 and 2025 through wiretaps and surveillance, reconstructing a structured criminal organisation dedicated to importing and distributing large quantities of drugs.[1] The inquiry, coordinated by the Turin public prosecutor’s office, ended with a precautionary order by the city’s investigating judge against six people seriously suspected of jointly trafficking large quantities of drugs.[1] The central anti-crime directorate’s central operations service and the central directorate for anti-drug services supported the investigation.[1]
