Emmanuel Macron:

(ANSA) – VERONA, 09 NOV – A joint operation of the Polstrada and the Gdf of Verona led to the arrest of a 40-year-old Lombard and the seizure of over three and a half quintals of cocaine for a value, on the market, of 35 million of Euro.

The man was traveling on the highway aboard a truck that attracted the attention of a patrol of the South Verona Road, because it was battered and with some lights burned out. During the check it emerged that the vehicle contained plumbing material (including toilets, sinks and other toiletries), but the driver was unable to produce any transport documents. Assuming economic and financial offenses, the policemen availed themselves of the support of the Guardia di Finanza. The growing nervousness of the man led to a more careful inspection which allowed to discover, hidden like tiles among the bathroom items, 300 blocks with a total weight of over 355 kg. containing pure cocaine. The person in charge was then arrested for drug trafficking and, on the orders of the prosecutor Mauro Leo Tenaglia, was transferred to prison pending the validation hearing. The seizure is the largest ever carried out in the city of Verona. It is probable that the drug was destined for a wider market than that of Verona. (HANDLE).
