Rovigo: They illegally occupied a council flat and possessed drugs, two Tunisians reported

I am extremely satisfied – said the councilor Mattia Maniezzo, in a press conference at the Local Police Headquarters -, an operation that saw collaboration between institutions and this is the right way to operate to get results faster. We are giving concrete answers to the city in terms of security. Narcotics have been removed from the streets and this is the largest seizure made by the Local Police. We have and are investing in our professionalism, working to obtain important results, results that are coming, this is evidence of it. The Local Police must in fact be the fourth law enforcement force on the territory. Congratulations to our officers!".

The details were illustrated by the Deputy Commissioner Elia Merlin responsible for the operation and by the deputy commander Giampaolo Sprocatti. A patrol of the Operations Department intervened at the request of the ATER for a illegal occupation in the Sant'Apollinare area. Another patrol intervened with the help of a patrol of the Carabinieri radiomobile, the Local Police of Rovigo intercepted two Tunisian citizens in an apartment in Ater without authorization. One of the two citizens was an illegal immigrant. A thorough check found 19 doses of drugs, mostly hashish, and one dose of cocaine, for a total of almost half a hectogram. The narcotic substance was seized and the subject reported for drug dealing and illegal immigration.

Satisfaction also from the councilor for housing policies Michael Aretusini “The focus on illegal building is an obvious problem. It is increasingly necessary to carry out checks in our council houses, because unfortunately illegal construction is widespread. Congratulations to our Local Police for the great result achieved, this is the right path to take. We must give a home to those who really need it and on the path of legality".

Furthermore, a patrol of the Operational Department of the Local Police of Rovigo, during traffic police checks in via Porta Po, he stopped a vehicle driven by a Chinese citizen, verifying from the check that the vehicle was not in compliance with either insurance coverage or periodic inspection. During the document check of the driving license, the officers also noticed some inconsistencies, which were immediately confirmed by the False Documents Unit of the Rovigo Local Police.

Therefore, after the Photo-signalling operations the driver was fined for administrative violations of lack of insurance coverage and lack of inspection and was reported for driving without a license and displaying false documents. "The activity of the local police – concluded the commissioner Merlin -, It's not just about parking and fines, but it's 360° and every day we fight for a safer city".
