The commander of the local police, Francesco De Santis, explained that the patrol on duty received a report regarding a vehicle with a German license plate. A German police officer present in the area confirmed the suspicions after checking the plate and discovering that the owner was wanted for serious crimes. During the operations, the suspect was located inside a bar near the local police headquarters.
Surprise During the Search
Subject to a search, the individual, born in 1984 and residing in Dresden, was found in possession of a significant amount of cash totaling 3,800 euros and various drugs, including cocaine and marijuana. Authorities then decided to extend the search to the arrested person’s vehicle.
