the decision

Drug trafficking in Sardinia: The Court of Appeal overturns the measures taken against four suspects; the alleged ringleader is released from prison.

A dramatic turn of events has broken up the investigation that has dismantled two gangs that allegedly "moved" tons of drugs: the judges say the alleged facts date back too far and there is no risk of the crime being repeated.
