Drug dealing in Quartu: 47-year-old arrested

Carabinieri from the Quartu Sant'Elena Mobile Radio Unit conducted an anti-drug operation last night, arresting a 47-year-old local man on charges of possession with intent to sell narcotics and illegal possession of a firearm.
The operation, coordinated by Captain Gianmarco Diadone, began around 7:00 PM after several days of quiet investigations and stakeouts. Officers from the NOR-Radiomobile Section stopped a man from Quartu, born in 1979, already known to law enforcement, on Via Petrarca for a check. The search was then extended to his home.
During the operation, a bag containing 60 grams of marijuana, six doses of the same substance weighing a total of 32.8 grams, and a 20-gram piece of hashish were found and seized. Along with the narcotics, the Carabinieri found €195 in cash, a precision scale, and various materials for cutting and packaging the doses. A switchblade knife was also seized.
Once the formalities were completed, the arrested man was escorted to his home to await the summary hearing, scheduled for this morning, September 17, as ordered by the judicial authorities.
