Lump Nevano. 1,5 tons of TLE stolen from the illegal market, 3 non-EU citizens (a 44-year-old Pakistani and two Indians aged 54 and 28) arrested red-handed and 2 others reported at large, for various degrees of complicity in the crimes of smuggling and drug trafficking: this is the overall result of two separate interventions by the Provincial Command of the Guardia di Finanza of Naples.
In particular, the financiers of the Frattamaggiore Group, during a check of the territory, identified in the residential area of Lump Nevano 3 people busy unloading numerous packages from a van, near a premises used as a warehouse.
Suspicious of the unusual circumstances and the attitude of the workers, the military intervened for a check, finding several packages of "chewing tobacco", without the State monopolies' markings. Over 700 kilograms of contraband tobacco were seized, part of which was also found at the home of one of the subjects involved.
During another check, again in Grumo Nevano, the same Guardia di Finanza of Frattamaggiore checked a van carrying packages of incense and paper napkins, with 2 Indian citizens on board: under the cover load, 741,150 kg of foreign-processed tobacco divided into 61 boxes and 45 g of dried poppy bulbs, an opiate-type narcotic, were found.
The tobacco, in the cases found to be of Indian origin, was kept in various sealed packages presumably ready for sale.
