Milan, August 29 2020 – A 34-year-old man of Moroccan origins was arrested for drug dealing in the Barona area. The agents of the local police drug enforcement unit found the equivalent of 47 doses of cocaine hidden in his car.

The operation was born on August 26th following a report which led the officers to carry out a plainclothes service to keep a gray Alfa Romeo Giulietta under control which, around 16pm, was climbed on by the man (TA). Noticing that he was hiding something under the passenger seat with his right hand, the local police officers immediately intervened and proceeded with the search of the vehicle, where 10 grams of cocaine were actually found. During the subsequent house search, 400 euros in cash were found, divided into 100 euro banknotes, the origin of which was not justified.

Another double arrest for cocaine dealing dates back to a few days ago, in the Ponte Lambro district. The agents of the Drug Enforcement Unit carried out a stakeout to monitor an apartment, which had been reported as a place of drug dealing, from which they saw TE, a 40-year-old man of Moroccan origins, who spontaneously handed over 17 wraps of cocaine, for a total weight of 8 grams. 150 euros were also found on the man, divided into banknotes of different denominations.

Inside the apartment, a second man, a 48-year-old Italian (MS) was found who, at the request of local police officers, handed over two transparent cellophane wrappers, which were hidden inside the kitchen oven, containing another 21,6 grams of cocaine, a precision scale and a 50 euro banknote.
