He was stopped a year ago, in Porto Torres, while he was getting off the ship with 1 kg and 322 grams of cocaine hidden in the wheel of the car . And one year later, yesterday in court in Sassari, a 47-year-old Venezuelan was sentenced, in summary form, to four years' imprisonment.

In 2023, the man was in the car with his partner and daughter and had claimed to have rented the car and to be in Porto Torres for the first time .
