The table was set as in the best Neapolitan traditions for the Christmas holidays.
But in Casoria, on the table of 41-year-old Vincenzo Amato, instead of sweets to be enjoyed with the family, there was everything needed to package drugs.
The Carabinieri of the Arpino di Casoria station surprised him at home with everything needed to dose the cocaine destined for the market.
Almost 300 grams of white powder still to be sorted, 13 sachets already ready. On the table, maniacally arranged, dozens of plastic sheets cut ad hoc, ready to preserve the drug.
And then a precision scale, a knife and a bowl to divide the coke with a teaspoon. The 41-year-old ended up in handcuffs for possession of drugs for the purpose of dealing and is now in prison, awaiting trial.
