Naples. The military of the Economic-Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza of Naples arrested a 37-year-old man, resident in Naples, accused of being a drug courier. The man was stopped as part of an operation that led to the seizure of 96,300 kg of hashish.
The investigation began on July 13, 2023, when the finance police of the GOA Section intercepted a car on the A1, towards Naples, coming from Spain. During the check, the hashish was found cleverly hidden inside the vehicle.
L'car driver, a man resident in Scampia, was arrested red-handed and sentenced to five years in prison and a fine of 30.000 euros.
