Designer clothes, holidays in exclusive locations and expensive watches: what got Ottavio Fadda, 30 years old from Pula, into trouble was the obsessive display of what, according to investigators from the Cagliari Flying Squad, he could afford thanks to the sale of large quantities of drugs.
His moves, but above all his decidedly too high standard of living had long been under the magnifying glass of the police: the suspicion that all that luxury, often flaunted on social networks, came from illicit activities was dispelled in recent days, when the agents searched Fadda's home. At the sight of the police, the thirty-year-old also tried to get rid of some of the drugs kept in the house by throwing them down the toilet, but the agents still managed to recover 200 grams of marijuana, 12 of cocaine and 16 of hashish. The Mobile agents also found numerous plastic scraps and vacuum packaging material, including a notebook where names, numbers and calculations of significant sums of money were written, presumably believed to be attributable to the sale of drugs on the local market.
Ottavio Fadda, defended by the lawyer Roberto Delogu, appeared before the preliminary investigations judge yesterday morning: the lawyer asked for the terms of defense and the young man was released with the obligation to sign.
