Sensational arrest of a municipal councilor from Anela, a municipality in the Sassari area, stopped in a car by the police with a kilo of cocaine and over 45 thousand euros in cash.
It happened yesterday in the late afternoon, when a patrol of the State Police stopped the man - Virgilio Vannini, 40, of the civic list “Unidos pro Anela” - along State Road 387, at the Serdiana crossroads.
The officers stopped him after he dared to overtake a tractor. Noting the man's excessive nervousness, they decided to search his Alfa romeo 159. Under the dashboard, on the passenger side, three casings were found: in one there was a one kilo stick of pure cocaine, in the other two 45.480. euro in banknotes of various denominations.
An almost random check was carried out by the police station patrol and in which a patrol of the Flying Squad also participated: the police were engaged in extraordinary territorial control services arranged by the Police Commissioner to prevent slowdowns and road blocks by the demonstrators "no green pass ”on the main arteries of the Cagliari area.
The city councilor was taken to the Uta prison.
Meanwhile, the investigators of the Flying Squad, coordinated by the manager Fabrizio Mustaro, are working to understand where Virgilio Vannini, elected in 2017, bought the drug that was probably destined for the Sassarese market. The investigations, for now, are concentrating on the Cagliari dealing squares.
