He hid a huge amount of heroin and cocaine in the tires .
Staff of the State Police, during the usual checks on flows from France through the Frejus tunnel, arrested an Italian citizen for international drug trafficking.
The man, a 50-year-old, aroused the suspicions of the agents who, while checking a bus, saw him trying to get around the queued cars . In the trunk, as it emerged from the subsequent checks, there were two spare wheels, but with measurements that were incompatible with those mounted on the car. The tires were also flat, yet strangely very heavy.
The reason? They contained 34 kilos of small eggs in nylon stockings : inside - as confirmed by the Interregional Cabinet of the Scientific Police of Turin - very pure cocaine and heroin.
The driver ended up in handcuffs and was taken to the Turin prison, available to the competent judicial authority.
