Naples – Despite already being subject to restrictive measures, he couldn't resist the temptation to continue dealing. Alessandro Cervasio, 58, from Naples, was arrested by Carabinieri from the Operational Unit of the Napoli Stella Company after being caught in the city center selling a dose of hashish to a customer near Porta Nolana.
The man, already known to law enforcement, was required to reside in the municipality of Naples and report daily to the judicial police. However, as the investigation revealed, he exploited his forced stay in the city to continue his drug dealing activity, moving through the busiest streets of the popular market.
Officers caught him red-handed during a drug deal involving the classic "handshake," a quick and discreet technique often used by drug dealers to confuse security. Apprehended before he could flee, Cervasio was found in possession of two sticks of hashish and €240 in cash, believed to be the proceeds of the illegal activity.
The search then continued at his home, where the Carabinieri found a 44-gram block of hashish, five bags of marijuana ready for sale, and a precision scale used to package the doses.
After the usual formalities, the 58-year-old was taken to prison, where he will remain at the disposal of the judicial authorities awaiting trial.
