The cocaine trafficked did not exceed the "drug threshold": 6 Nigerians acquitted in Sassari

Six Nigerians acquitted of drug dealing charges in Sassari.

The sentence was issued this afternoon in court by the panel chaired by Monia Adami, alongside Antonietta Crobu and Sara Pelicci, at the end of the discussion between the parties.

According to the allegations, the North Africans sold several doses of drugs, cocaine or heroin between September and October 2017 in the historic center of the Turritan capital. But years later, the expert report on the substance, requested by Giuseppe Onorato, one of the defenders, ascertained that it did not exceed "the doping threshold".

In this way the case in point of the crime was thus eliminated , as also underlined by the other lawyers, Elisabetta Udassi, Francesco Sasso, who also argued on behalf of Danilo Mattana, and Marco Manca.

Prosecutor Maria Paola Asara had asked for a series of sentences, the highest of which was 3 years and 6 months, while all the others were two years and 6 months. In the end, however, the judges ordered the acquittal "because the fact does not exist".
