He fled when asked to stop for a routine check, fleeing onto a busy road in the center of Palau. Pursued by the Carabinieri, he was caught and stopped: he was carrying drugs, which led to a 53-year-old local man being arrested for possession with intent to sell.

The incident occurred on Friday afternoon, as reported by the Carabinieri. Upon seeing the arrest, while driving a car, the arrested man fled and attempted to throw a cellophane package out of the window. After catching up with him, the officers recovered the material: it contained over 50 grams of cocaine .

The Carabinieri then carried out a search inside the man's home, where they found a further 10 grams of cocaine, approximately 40 grams of hashish powder, 30 grams of marijuana, 3 precision scales and various materials used in the preparation and packaging of narcotic substances , as well as an electric dryer for marijuana and a press for packaging hashish blocks.

He is currently under house arrest pending the validation hearing.
