After the 2020 Ros blitz with the arrest of 33 people, the shop square in Sant'Elia in Cagliari suffered a severe blow. But someone had still organized a drug market between via Schiavazzi and via Utzeri: apartments protected with armored doors, abusive huts with grates for the sale of cocaine doses, a lookout system, containers with magnets to store drugs and a business open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, with deals worth 15 thousand euros a month.
