Caserta – At dawn today, the Carabinieri of the Maddaloni Company executed three precautionary measures for continued and joint drug dealing.
The operation, ordered by the investigating judge of the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Court at the request of the local Public Prosecutor's Office, led to the arrest of one person who had been taken to prison and the placement of two others under house arrest.
The measures were carried out in the province of Caserta and at the Isili prison, in the province of Cagliari.
The criminal group based in Santa Maria a Vico
According to investigations conducted by the Carabinieri Operations Unit in Maddaloni, a criminal organization active in the trafficking and retail sale of cocaine and hashish was identified between June and November 2023.
The group, based in the municipality of Santa Maria a Vico, managed a dense drug dealing network that supplied consumers in various towns in the Caserta province.
Thanks to a detailed investigative effort, which included wiretaps, surveillance, and surveillance, investigators were able to document 327 drug dealing incidents.
This widespread and constant activity, according to investigators' estimates, guaranteed the group profits of several tens of thousands of euros per month.
Arrests, reports and reports
During the investigation, the Prosecutor's Office reports, three people had already been arrested in flagrante delicto, while three others were charged at large with aiding and abetting.
The investigations also led to the reporting to the Prefecture of ten individuals believed to be habitual drug users, highlighting the size of the consumption pool fueled by the group.
The precautionary custody order represents the latest stage in an investigation coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, which is now continuing to ascertain further responsibilities and possible connections to other drug dealing hubs in the Caserta area.
The operation confirms the Carabinieri's commitment to combating the spread of narcotics in an area historically sensitive to the establishment of small-scale criminal organizations dedicated to drug trafficking.
