In an evident state of intoxication due to the intake of alcoholic substances, he was driving a dinghy. To intercept it - thanks to the collaboration of some citizens - were the soldiers of the Coast Guard of La Maddalena near the island of Spargi.

The report that arrived at the Port Authority spoke of the skipper of a dinghy, with tourists on board, in a confused state. The CP 714 patrol boat arrived in the area, in front of Cala Soraya, and identified the vessel on which there were 16 passengers, including 5 children.

The military were immediately able to verify the evident state of psychophysical alteration of the skipper and therefore proceeded to embark all the passengers on the patrol boat and escort the dinghy to the port of La Maddalena.

An administrative fine of 6,666 euros was levied against the driver of the dinghy for driving while intoxicated and a second fine of 459 euros for exceeding the number of passengers that can be transported, in addition to the seizure of the pleasure craft and the suspension of the boat license for a period of 12 to 24 months.
