Catania: Cocaine stone worth around 35.000 euros hidden in underwear, 30-year-old arrested

Thanks to 'intensification of preventive control services on the territory arranged by the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri of Catania, the military of the Investigative Unit, on the basis of the evidence collected to be verified in court, have A 30-year-old from Catania was arrested for possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing. In this regard, the Carabinieri, engaged in a monitoring activity to prevent drug dealing in the Picanello district, did not fail to notice, a Fiat Panda with two boys on board, which was speeding along Via Villaglori.

The investigative intuition of the military of the Arma led them to follow them to check where they were going in such a hurry and, during the shadowing service in “discreet” mode, they have been seen stopping, from time to time, near groups of kids gathered in front of bars and arcades, talking to them from the window. The investigators, suspicious, decided to intervene and waited for the best moment to stop them so as not to obstruct road traffic, they blocked them. It did not escape the attention of the Carabinieri officers the nervousness of the passenger who, as soon as the search of the car and his friend began, began to nervously bite his nails.

When his turn came, then, the boy started to sweat “cold” and the reason was immediately made clear: he had hidden in his underwear a cellophane package containing a 50 gram stone of cocaine.
From that stone they would have obtained, on average, 800 doses which in retail sales would have brought in, for the coffers of organised crime, over 35.000 euros. The 30-year-old was therefore arrested and placed at the disposal of the Judicial Authority, which has the arrest was validated, ordering the precautionary measure of prison, while the drugs were seized.
