The Carabinieri of Quartu intervened in the middle of the night, arresting at 3:30 a.m. a forty-one-year-old resident of Cagliari, unemployed and already known to the police, for drug possession for the purpose of dealing.
The measure was triggered following another violation by the arrested man, who was stopped in the center of Monserrato for failing to yield right of way while driving. The Carabinieri, suspicious of his behavior, searched his vehicle and then his home, finding 400 grams of hashish, €3,450 in cash (believed to be the proceeds of drug dealing), precision scales, and packaging materials .
The forty-one-year-old – the Carabinieri announced – has been placed under house arrest , with the judicial authorities having ordered a summary hearing this morning.
