Casaluce man sees police and throws purse with cocaine and money out window: arrested

During nighttime checks in Casaluce, the Carabinieri arrested a 39-year-old man for possession with intent to sell. Among the items seized were 15,91 grams of cocaine and €1.660,45 in cash, as well as two cell phones.

Last night, Carabinieri officers from the Aversa Police Station arrested a 39-year-old resident of San Marcellino, who was considered a serious suspect in the crime of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.

During a traffic stop on Via Chiesa in Casaluce, the man, aboard a rented Fiat Panda, allegedly threw a purse out the window. Upon recovery, 15,91 grams of cocaine and €1.660,45 in cash were found.

During a personal search, an additional €495 in cash and two cell phones were found. During the search, a traffic violation for driving without a license was also reported.

Following the formal procedures, the arrested man was escorted to his home, where he was placed under house arrest pending judicial approval. The case is currently under judicial review: the investigation is in the preliminary phase, and the suspect's liability will be determined during the proceedings, respecting the presumption of innocence until a final verdict is reached.
