The arrest was validated and the 40-year-old was placed in handcuffs two days ago in Alghero and then in Bancali on charges of illegal possession of weapons and possession of drugs for the purpose of dealing .
Today, at the validation hearing in Sassari, the man, represented by attorney Barbara Pirisi, responded to the allegations arising from the Carabinieri investigation. He stated that the 31 grams of cocaine found in the home were for personal use, that the weapon recovered was a blank gun, albeit modified, and that the €6,900 found in the home, according to the 40-year-old's defense, were not the proceeds of drug dealing, but rather the proceeds of his business . The man also provided his own justification for the homemade explosive devices and firecrackers recovered by the police, which differed from the charges brought against him. Preliminary Investigating Judge Giuseppe Grotteria ordered house arrest, as requested by prosecutor Giovanni Porcheddu.
