Carabinieri from the Urbania station arrested a 50-year-old Syrian resident of
the town on suspicion of possessing drugs for sale in the afternoon of 3
November.[1]Officers watching the green areas and paths beside the Metauro
river saw him moving suspiciously through the scrub near the town centre and
searched him once he came out of the vegetation.[1]He had more than 1,200
euros in cash in his wallet and could not explain where it came from.[1]The
local newspaper il Ducato placed the first sighting in the countryside around
Urbania, near the Metauro, on the same afternoon.[2]
A search of his home found 156 grams of hashish, 13 grams of cocaine divided
into several packets and material for dividing doses.[1]The drugs were hidden
in a gap in the garage wall, in the hollow handle of a dust sweeper and in a
space in the second-floor bathroom, under a mat near the skylight.[1]The ANSA
news agency, which reported the case from Urbania, gave the same quantities and
the same hiding places.[3]
On the duty prosecutor’s order he was first held under house arrest, and the
judge of preliminary investigations of the court of Urbino then imposed a duty
to report to the judicial police and a duty to reside in Urbania.[1]ANSA
reported that the Urbino judge imposed those measures after validating the
arrest.[3]

The report gives no charge or trial outcome beyond the validated arrest and the precautionary measures; it does not say whether a criminal complaint was filed.
il Ducato places the first sighting in the countryside around Urbania while the Carabinieri statement describes the scrub beside the Metauro near the town centre; both are used as given.
Sources give the suspect's age and, in the Carabinieri statement, his Syrian origin, but no name, plea or court date.
Only 156 grams of hashish are counted as cannabis; the 13 grams of cocaine and the 1,200 euros come from the same seizure but are not cannabis.
The statement groups this case with a separate 22-gram hashish complaint in Fermignano on 4 November, which is not covered here.
