In particular, the investigation concerns the criminal group that managed drug dealing on the island of Ponza as well as in Rome and in some municipalities in the province of Naples.
The investigation was conducted by the Carabinieri of the Operational Section of the Formia Carabinieri Company starting from August 2020 following the death of Gianmarco Pozzi, which occurred in circumstances still to be clarified on the island of Ponza on August 9th two years ago and for which investigations are still ongoing.
The drug supply channels, in particular cocaine and hashish, have been identified both in the capital and in the hinterland of the Campania capital.
