A 19-year-old Albanian man was arrested by the Carabinieri of the Torvaianica station in Italy, on charges of cocaine trafficking, after he was found in possession of a large quantity of the drug hidden inside his car.
The goods were divided into 90 doses, ready to be sold. The Carabinieri said they are investigating to uncover a possible organized drug trafficking network.
The young man was spotted by the Carabinieri while moving suspiciously in a vehicle during a territorial patrol. Suspicious of his movements, the officers decided to stop him for further investigation.
During the search of the person and his vehicle, the carabinieri found approximately 90 doses of cocaine hidden in a compartment under the speedometer, as well as 130 euros in cash, believed to be possible proceeds from cocaine trafficking.
The drug concealment system was designed to quickly evade any control, confirming the possibility of a widespread cocaine trafficking operation that had long been underway in the southern coastal area of Lazio.
After the security measure, the Albanian was placed under house arrest and an expedited summary trial was held.
