When the Carabinieri intervened last summer in the Chiaramonti countryside , they found a fair amount of cannabis in the land that had been under observation for some time . Six hundred plants were found and about a kilo and a half of the active ingredient of the substance, and they charged the owner with cultivation and sale of drugs .

For the 36-year-old from Sassari, defended by lawyers Bruno Conti and Orlando Ugone, the abbreviated hearing took place yesterday in the court in Sassari. The public prosecutor Ermanno Cattaneo requested a sentence of one year and four months, a sentence however increased by the preliminary hearing judge Sergio De Luca to one year and eight months.

The judge dropped the charge of transfer , acquitting the defendant, and leaving standing only the charge of cultivation , also ordering that the goods seized during the operation by the military be returned to the 36-year-old.
