Anti-drug operation in Foggia, the police arrest twelve people

The State Police of Foggia, at the first light of dawn, executed a precautionary custody order of which ten were in prison and two were under house arrest, issued by the investigating judge at the Court of Foggia, on the proposal of the local Public Prosecutor’s Office. Repubblica, against as many subjects, subjected to preliminary investigations in relation to the crime of illicit production, trafficking and possession of narcotic substances pursuant to art. 73 Presidential Decree 309/90 in the municipalities of San Nicandro Garganico, Apricena, Cagnano Varano and Campomarino. The investigation, started in 2022, arose from an investigative activity carried out by the staff of the San Severo PS Police Station, in collaboration with the policemen of the Flying Squad and made it possible to collect serious indications of guilt against the 12 subjects in relation to the contested crime. In fact, the recipients of the precautionary measure showed a marked delinquent capacity due to the “modus operandi” through which the transfer, or in any case the offer to third parties, of doses of narcotic substances would take place.

In particular, inside a house located in Campomarino the aforementioned women would have sold large quantities of narcotics, pocketing large profits on a daily basis, also through the transfer of the substance to buyers from neighboring countries. Furthermore, in all points considered strategic, people would have been constantly stationed with the task of checking for the presence of any policemen who could “disturb” the drug dealing activities. The squares, probably used for the purchase and sale of narcotic substances, were chosen in contexts in which the presence of foreigners was noted with a certain ease. In addition to this, quick appointments were arranged with regular users to whom they would deliver portions of the narcotic substance daily, in always different places, to evade any checks by the Police Force. The activity carried out this morning involved the staff of the San Severo Police Station, assisted by the staff of the Foggia Flying Squad, the Crime Prevention Department, dog units and a heliport.
