MESTRE – The drug dealing bar closed: the Havana in via Cavallotti has been seized. The owner is one of the fourteen arrested for drug dealing in Via Piave. The precautionary measures were carried out at dawn by the Venice Flying Squad. The premises were therefore seized and made the subject of a patrimonial measure. In reality, Havana had already been closed for two weeks and the “for sale” sign had appeared in the window. Today, the posters announcing the kidnapping appeared.
THE ARRESTS
The fourteen arrests for drug dealing in Via Piave and in the areas surrounding Mestre were carried out at dawn by the Venice Flying Squad in execution of a precautionary measure issued by the judge for preliminary investigations of Venice, Maria Rosa Barbieri, at the request of the pm Alessia Tavarnesi.
The episodes that came under accusation date back to 2021. Twelve people of Italian and Albanian nationality ended up in prison, two under house arrest; 20 personal and local search decrees were also carried out on other people: a total of 34 people were under investigation.
THE PROSECUTOR
«An investigation that began on the street – explained the Venice prosecutor, Bruno Cherchi, illustrating the operation during a press conference – and which in two years led to the identification, in addition to the retail drug dealers, also of those was in charge of programming.”
The investigators believe they have gathered numerous evidence, with the identification of the drug supply channels used and the seizure of multiple batches of drugs for a total of over 30 kg of substance. Officers also found weapons.
