The presence of drug dealing activities near the building was already known to the agents, who had launched stakeouts in the area on several occasions since last year.

The operation carried out on Wednesday 5 June was therefore carried out by applying a precise procedure: after having intercepted a buyer as he was leaving the building, the NOST staff and the dog unit entered the building, while other agents guarded the building and checked it. every possible exit, managing to identify the person responsible for the drug dealing phenomena and arrest him after blocking his escape attempt.
The intervention involved 3 patrols with 3 officers and 4 operators.
The Judge, after having validated the arrest, ordered the application of the measure of imprisonment to the accused at the Monza prison.
