A 52-year-old man from Piedmont was arrested by Carabinieri officers from the Cagliari mobile radio unit after being found in possession of approximately one kilogram of ketamine. The arrest occurred near Elmas Airport, shortly after the suspect arrived on a flight from Spain.

According to the military, the man appeared to be particularly nervous during a routine street check.

Suspicious, the Carabinieri conducted a personal search and search of the man's luggage, finding the drug hidden inside the suitcase. Subsequent investigations confirmed it to be ketamine, presumably destined for the local illicit market.

After the usual formalities, the 52-year-old was transferred to Uta prison, by order of the Cagliari Public Prosecutor's Office.
