An Albanian citizen has been arrested and another of his compatriots pursued in a free condition, after the seizure of over 4 kg of cocaine and 55 thousand euros in cash. The drugs were about to be dumped in the Italian capital's illegal market.
The raid by Italian police took place in the town of Rovigo near the apartment of one of the two suspects, both of whom were trapped as they left the house.
During the search, the detainee had about 260 grams of cocaine with him. And so officers decided to search his apartment as well. More cocaine weighing just under 4kg was found in the drug dealer's residence, already separated and packaged ready for sale. Hidden inside one of the blinds was discovered 55,000 euros in cash.
The Albanian, resident of the controlled house, was arrested for the criminal offense of possession of narcotics for traffic purposes. He is currently in Rovigo prison and the arrest has been proven.
