He told the agents of the Alghero police station who stopped him in Porto Torres immediately after disembarking from the ship from Genoa that it was his first time in Sardinia and that he had arrived on vacation.
In reality , a check revealed that the 37-year-old South American passenger had already been to Porto Torres, in 2022, and had been reported for theft.
So he was accompanied to the police station and the searches began. In the car, which he had declared - falsely - to have been rented, five wrappers were found, hidden in the spare wheel.
Inside was cocaine for a total weight of one kilo and 322 grams. The thirty-seven year old was arrested for possession of drugs and transferred to the Bancali prison in Sassari.
