Naples – Carabinieri raid in the nightlife of the historic center: a 46-year-old of Senegalese origin was arrested last night in Piazza Bellini for drug dealing.
The man was caught red-handed by the soldiers of the Compagnia Centro while he was giving a bag of marijuana to a 42-year-old Neapolitan. The attempt to escape was immediately blocked by the Carabinieri, who proceeded to search the suspect. On him, the 46-year-old had another 6 grams of marijuana and 3 grams of hashish.
The arrested man will now have to answer to the charge of possession of drugs for the purpose of dealing and is awaiting trial. The operation is part of a broader control activity by the police to combat the phenomenon of drug dealing in the heart of Neapolitan nightlife.

I read the article and I think it is important to talk about this drug phenomenon. However, I wonder if the presence of the Carabinieri is effective enough to solve the problem of drug dealing in the historic center.
