This morning, in the Municipality of Scalea, an order issued by the Judge for Preliminary Investigations of the Court of Santa Maria Capua Vetere was executed, at the request of the Prosecutor's Office, who ordered the precautionary custody in prison of a man investigated for the crimes of possession and sale of narcotic substances.
The investigative activities, conducted by the Carabinieri of the Operational Section of the Territorial Department of Mondragone, began in December 2022 and concluded in July 2023.
These investigations revealed an intense illicit drug dealing activity, including cocaine, hashish and marijuana, involving a subject resident in the Municipality of Castel Volturno - Pineta Mare.
Investigators used wiretap techniques, coupled with careful observation, shadowing, and monitoring, to gain a dynamic understanding of the illicit conduct that was occurring systematically and continuously.
The modus operandi consisted of arranging appointments through short telephone communications, in which the interlocutors used conventional language that suggested the upcoming sale of narcotic substances.
The checks on the buyers, from whom the purchased narcotic was regularly seized, allowed to ascertain that the substance, due to quantity, method of presentation and other circumstances of the action, was intended for non-personal use.
