Carabinieri arrested a man after 158.40 grams of cocaine were found in his vehicle at the Sant’Eufemia Est service area in Russi. The man, a 40-year-old resident of the Modenese area, was stopped at the service station by Carabinieri units from Cervia and Russi during targeted checks aimed at countering drug dealing. Cocaine in five separate packages was allegedly discovered during a personal and vehicle search. The drugs were seized. Police said the man was already known to law enforcement and was under an alternative measure of probation with social services. After the arrest on the spot, the judicial authority validated the measure and ordered pre-trial detention in prison. Legal status is pre-trial custody, following validation of the arrest.
