Caught with 42 kg of cocaine, the Albanian is arrested in Ancona, he came to

A 33-year-old Albanian fell into the hands of the Italian police after being caught with 42 kilograms of cocaine.

ANSA reports that the Albanian is not a previously registered person, but there are doubts that he may be part of a wider narcotics trafficking network in Marche.

The 33-year-old Albanian was handcuffed while he was driving his Golf Volkswagen, in the Baraçola area of ​​Ancona, where 1 kg of cocaine was seized. The rest of the drugs were found in his apartment in Baraçola.

In the house there was also a loaded pistol, some cartridges and several hundred euros in cash. The suspect of drug trafficking came from time to time to Italy, from Albania, with a three-month tourist visa.

As a car dealer, he also had an apartment in Civitanova Marche, where he lived, but the apartment was "clean". Baraçola's house, on the other hand, was a kind of drug storage, a point of support before taking other directions.

The Albanian was wanted by the Guardia di Finanza of Brescia, as part of a delicate investigation coordinated by the Lombard District Anti-Mafia Prosecutor's Office. The drug, pure cocaine, would bring 10 million euros to the market.
