The canine units from the Avellino and Benevento commandos participated in the operation, whose keen sense of smell was crucial in identifying the narcotic, supported by the Operational Intervention Group (GIO) from Rome and the Campania Regional Operational Group.

The operation was not without its challenges. According to Palmieri, there were "moments of tension" when some inmates resisted, refusing to submit to the search. The potentially explosive situation was handled with great professionalism by the officers, who managed to contain the disturbances, ensure the safety of all staff, and complete the search.

The operation concluded with the seizure of the illegal material. The inmates found in possession of the smartphones and drugs were immediately reported to the competent judicial authorities, who will begin their investigation.

OSAPP, through its regional secretary, expressed "heartfelt applause to all those who attended," emphasizing the merit of the Sammarinese headquarters staff and all the specialized teams who contributed to the success of the operation, confirming its ongoing commitment to combating illicit activities within penitentiary institutions.
