Catania: Drug dealing, 28-year-old reported
The Carabinieri of the Catania Radiomobile Unit have implemented a meticulous investigation activity, including remote observation and monitoring services, which led, on the basis of the evidence collected to be verified in court, to the report of a 28-year-old from Catania for possession with intent to deal as well as the seizure of narcotics and cash. The activity took place in the San Giorgio district, where the military, suspicious of frequent movements of people near a house on Strada San Giorgio, intensified their controls, monitoring the property more carefully.
Thanks to the observation activity and the investigative information obtained, they actually documented that, inside that house, from where people entered and exited immediately after, presumably a narcotic substance was being sold.
The intervention action was then planned, the investigators decided to proceed with a house search.
Therefore, the entire area was cordoned off to prevent any escape attempts, The Carabinieri entered the house and in the presence of the 28-year-old's aunt, who was not at home at the time, started the search for the possible narcotic substance. In fact, the activity allowed the military to find, in a cabinet located right at the entrance to the apartment, 16 grams of “Skunk” type marijuana, already divided into doses, and 82 grams of hashish. They were also found, a vacuum packing device, packaging material and a notepad containing notes attributable to the illegal activity.
Furthermore, during the checks, a sum of cash of almost 8.000 euros was found, consisting mainly of small denomination banknotes divided into bundles and hidden inside a chest of drawers which, since it was believed to be the proceeds of drug dealing, was seized. The 28 year old was tracked down immediately afterwards by the military of the Mobile Radio Unit who, in relation to what they discovered, have reported to the competent Judicial Authority for possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing.
