Ragusa – The Carabinieri of the Ragusa Company, with the support provided by the Nicolosi Dog Unit, at dawn this morning executed a precautionary custody order against 5 people: a 32-year-old, recipient of the custody order in prison, a 31-year-old, a 34-year-old and a 46-year-old, recipients of the precautionary measure of house arrest, and a 28-year-old, recipient of the residence obligation.
The suspects, all residents and domiciled in Ragusa, will have to answer for various reasons for the crime of possession for the purpose of dealing drugs in competition, aggravated by specific recidivism within five years. The charge, specifically provided for by the Consolidated Law on Narcotic Drugs, underlies a strong synergy between the suspects, who were the protagonists of a long series of conduct resulting in the commission of the contested crime.
During the investigations, undertaken starting last year, the soldiers of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit of the Ragusa Company were able to document numerous sales of narcotic substances, marijuana, hashish and above all cocaine, which had turned the spotlight on the situation of degradation experienced in the center historian of the Hyblaean capital.
The info-operational activity, corroborated by technical investigations, allowed the reconstruction of the movements and modus operandi adopted by the pushers. The military ascertained that drug dealers used two distinct methodologies to evade checks by the police, namely the sale of narcotics from one’s home, or the delivery of drugs to agreed locations, away from prying eyes and difficult to control for law enforcement.
As further confirmation of the flourishing drug dealing activity by the consolidated network made up of the suspects and by virtue of the numerous searches that the Carabinieri soldiers have crystallized in the criminal context over the last few months, an arrest was carried out in flagrante delicto , two referrals in a state of freedom, as well as several seizures of drugs and material suitable for packaging the substance, for an estimated value of tens of thousands of euros.
The Iblea Public Prosecutor’s Office, fully sharing the investigative findings produced by the Carabinieri, has requested the Judge of Preliminary Investigations of the Court of Ragusa to issue the personal precautionary measures granted today.
The detailed investigation activity also made it possible to release a further 6 people in a state of freedom for the same crimes, ascertaining a total of over 90 sales of narcotic substances, and to identify more than 58 buyers.
The operation was carried out this morning by 20 soldiers from the Ragusa Company, supported by units of the Carabinieri Dog Unit of Nicolosi.
