Naples - The fight against drug trafficking continues in Naples. In the last forty-eight hours, the State Police have conducted a major operation that led to the arrest of six people caught with drugs and cash.
The extraordinary checks arranged by the Police Headquarters have allowed them to hit the shop in different areas of the city and the province.
