A raid on Secondigliano prison resulted in the recovery of drugs and a handset.

Approximately 170 grams of hashish and a cell phone were seized in Secondigliano prison, as part of an operation aimed at preventing the entry of narcotics and illegal communication devices into the facility.

The intervention was carried out by the Penitentiary Police, who acted following instructions from the department coordinator and the staff on duty.

The blitz in the SAI Department

The seizure occurred during a routine search of the SAI (Intensive Care Unit) yesterday afternoon. Officers located the drugs and the handset hidden in a common area, ready to be released into the prison's internal circuit.

The operation, described as "extraordinarily effective" by the union, confirms the level of attention and professionalism of the Penitentiary Police staff in Campania.

The words of Raffaele Munno

Raffaele Munno, regional deputy secretary of the autonomous Sappe Penitentiary Police union, underlined the importance of the intervention:
"Once again," Munno stated, "the Penitentiary Police personnel have demonstrated a sense of duty, a spirit of sacrifice, and the highest operational competence. The seizure of such a significant quantity of narcotics and a handset confirms the pervasive and insidious nature of the attempt to introduce drugs and illegal communication devices into penitentiary facilities."

Drugs and handset, a recurring phenomenon

The discovery of the handset and 170 grams of hashish signals the existence of a supply network that continues to attempt to circumvent controls within the prison.

The Penitentiary Police, in collaboration with other police forces, has intensified checks and inspections, with the aim of interrupting the flow of narcotics and illegal devices, which pose a risk to internal public order and the safety of prison staff.
