He was arrested in Castelsardo for possession of narcotics. Carabinieri from the local station arrested a man in flagrante delicto for possession of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and hashish for the purpose of trafficking. The officers stopped the man while he was driving his vehicle.

Stopped by Carabinieri officers conducting traffic checks, the man, nervous and annoyed by the checks, had hidden two cellophane packages containing heroin-type drugs, with a total gross weight of 4.21 grams, inside the vehicle. A tonfa stick was also discovered. The searches were extended to the man's home, where they found two precision scales, a grinder, €2,400 in cash, believed to be the likely proceeds of drug dealing, and 9 grams of marijuana, 0.45 grams of hashish, and 0.50 grams of cocaine.

The drugs, the drug weighing equipment, the truncheon, and the cash were seized, while the man was arrested and, by order of the Sassari Public Prosecutor's Office, which is coordinating and directing the investigation, was placed under house arrest pending a validation hearing. Following the hearing, the Judge ordered the suspect to report to a law enforcement station.
