He was hiding 100 cocaine ovules in 3 terry socks stuffed into his backpack. This is what the financial police at work at the port of Olbia discovered when they checked the luggage of a 35-year-old Nigerian national coming from Civitavecchia.

The man, who disembarked from Tirrenia in work clothes, safety shoes and an orange vest, was noticed by the financial police while, with a very light backpack, he was trying to blend in with the port workers. His attitude, together with his uncertain and confused answers about the reasons for his trip to Sardinia, aroused the suspicions of the financial police who decided to carry out a more thorough check with the help of the dog unit.

Following the report of the drug-sniffing dog, which was particularly interested in the hand luggage, the attention of the military focused on the few personal effects transported, which revealed inside the ovules with the whitish dust.

At the end of the operations, the courier was arrested and taken to Bancali, at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Tempio Pausania.
