He had been accused of purchasing cocaine from the Milanese Calajò clan, and for this reason, Olbia mechanic Massimiliano Pileri was arrested. Judges from the Eighth Section of the Milan Court acquitted Pileri at the end of a trial conducted under the ordinary procedure. The mechanic was the subject of a major investigation by the Milan Anti-Mafia Directorate (DDA) involving 13 people.

According to the prosecutor, who had requested a 10-year prison sentence, the man allegedly purchased shipments of cocaine worth hundreds of thousands of euros for the Olbia market (between 2021 and 2022). The drugs apparently arrived in the Gallura city after transits through Cesano Boscone, Sesto Fiorentino, and Livorno. The mechanic, defended by criminal lawyers Antonello Desini and Nicola Di Benedetto, has always denied the charges and was the only one to request a trial under the ordinary procedure.

The defense's statement: "Great satisfaction at the conclusion of a difficult trial, with an incredible amount of paperwork that required the involvement of expert witnesses to refute the technical analysis carried out by the Carabinieri of the ROS (Special Operations Unit) in Milan. We don't yet know the reasons, but we believe that the Court of Milan has fully accepted our defense's findings and arguments. For our client, a nightmare that began with a long detention has ended." Thirteen other defendants had chosen to be tried under the summary procedure and were all convicted.
