He had hidden two 12-gauge hunting rifles, with abraded serial numbers , in a piece of land in Murta Sterria, right on the slopes of the Sette Fratelli oasis. But it was the Forestry Corps who found them, which discovered the poaching activity. Thus a 58-year-old from Maracalagonis ended up in prison.

The agents of the Sinnai station, after finding the weapons, started a check and ambush activity and, also using special cameras, identified the owner of the rifles. The man, multiple convicted of similar crimes, was arrested.

The investigating judge Michele Contini has ordered precautionary custody in prison, and the poacher is now in Uta: he will have to answer for carrying and possession of clandestine weapons (abraded serial number) and receiving stolen goods: he risks up to 8 years in prison.
