During an operation to combat illicit trafficking, officers from the Naples Provincial Command of the Guardia di Finanza identified a warehouse in San Pietro a Patierno containing 260 kg of foreign-manufactured tobacco, without the state monopoly mark.

The depot was managed by an Italian citizen, and the operation was carried out thanks to the work of the Frattamaggiore Group.

The financial police noticed a suspicious individual heading towards a garage in a parking lot, which was subsequently checked. Inside, 13.000 packets of contraband cigarettes were found, some of which were counterfeit.

The goods were seized and could have generated an illicit profit of more than 50.000 euros if they had been placed on the market.
