A Moroccan citizen tracked down and arrested in Germany will have to serve a 17 and a half year prison sentence for drug trafficking.
The measure unifying the concurrent sentences, which led to the arrest of the thirty-six-year-old, was issued by the General Prosecutor’s Office of Perugia.
The crimes committed span a period of time ranging from 2012 to 2019, all linked to drug dealing, particularly in the territories of Terni and Casal di Principe, in the Caserta area.
The network – reports the General Prosecutor’s Office of Perugia in a note – was managed by the entire family of the man, resident in the Terni area, who obtained supplies in the nearby town of Papigno and, making use of young people with no criminal record, reintroduced the doses mostly of heroin, in the provinces of Terni and Rieti.
During the arrest operations of the various members of the gang, the staff of the flying squad of the Rieti police headquarters, in collaboration with those of Perugia, TerniViterbo and Vicenza, seized over 650 grams of heroin, approximately 200 grams of cocaine and 7 thousand euros in cash, believed to be proceeds from drug dealing.
Investigations revealed that the criminal association supplied between 80 and 100 drug addicts in the areas involved.
At the time the operation was called “One way trip”.
The North African was captured following a European arrest warrant in the city of Remscheid by the Wuppertal neighborhood police, in collaboration with Sirene Germany and the Service for International Police Cooperation of Rome.
The arrested person is currently awaiting extradition to Italy.
