The validation hearing will be held tomorrow, Monday, November 16, for Giovanni Simone Senes, the 44-year-old truck driver from Pozzomaggiore who was arrested Thursday evening on State Road 131 while driving the tractor-trailer belonging to the Nuoro-based company he works for. Inside the cab of the truck, patrol officers from the Macomer police station found over 58 kilos of cocaine, divided into 50 blocks and hidden in three bags.
The potential proceeds from such a quantity of drugs are estimated at around €5 million. Senes, who has no criminal record, denies all charges.
He is currently being held in Oristano prison and tomorrow, represented by lawyer Laura Secchi, he will appear before investigating judge Cristiana Argiolas and public prosecutor Marco De Crescenzo for sentencing. He is charged with possession of narcotics with intent to distribute.
