A 50-year-old from Cagliari was arrested by the State Police because he was found in possession of 60 grams of "cathinone", a powerful synthetic drug widespread in northern Europe and the United States, purchased online.

For several days the man had been monitored by agents of the Widespread Crime Section of the Flying Squad: the arrest took place when an envelope was delivered by an express courier, and while the 50-year-old was about to collect it.

The operation is part of the activities to combat the phenomenon of the sale of so-called NSPs (new psychoactive substances), highly dangerous drugs that are spreading especially among young people.

The arrested person was placed under house arrest and will be judged with a very direct rite.
