the arrest after an information-led anti-drug service in the historic centre of
Viterbo.[1]Police arrested a 19-year-old non-EU citizen on a charge of
holding drugs for sale.[1]Officers spotted the young man in Piazza San
Carluccio holding several doses of cocaine shortly before a handover.[1]A
check found three more cocaine doses hidden on his body.[1]
A search of his home then seized three transparent bags holding 22 grams of
marijuana.[1]The same search seized 4,900 euros, described by police as
proceeds of dealing.[1]The cocaine was described only as doses, with no
weight given, so only the marijuana is counted in cannabis figures.[1]

validation hearing and a fast-track trial (giudizio direttissimo).[1]The
Questura of Viterbo confirmed the operation.[2]Italian law presumes a person
innocent until a final conviction.[2]

Open questions the AI reported
The notice says only "nei giorni scorsi" (in recent days), so 5 November 2026, the publication date of both reports, is used as the incident date.
The cocaine was reported only as doses without a weight, so no cocaine quantity is recorded and no combined drug total is used for cannabis.
The 4,900 euros was described as suspected dealing proceeds, not a valuation of the drugs seized, so no value figure is recorded.
The arrested man was identified only as a 19-year-old non-EU citizen; no name or nationality was published.
No outcome of the validation hearing or the fast-track trial was reported, and under Italian law he is presumed innocent until a final conviction.
