Inside the envelope, the officers found 11 blocks of hashish weighing approximately 385 grams, a glass jar containing approximately 120 grams of hashish resin, 3370 euros in cash and a bunch of keys.

The officers, following extensive investigations, ascertained that the man, a 25-year-old Roman, was using another house in the peripheral area of ​​Ciampino, in via Doganale, to which the set of keys found shortly before could be traced back. At that point, once they arrived on site, the police carried out a house search in the building, where they found the presence of another man, a 49-year-old Roman: they found 421 blocks of hashish and 5 bags containing the same substance, for a total weight of approximately 23 kg, 9 bags containing marijuana weighing approximately 7 kg, 16 wrappers with approximately 3,5 kg of hashish resin, a jar with over 1 kg of cannabis inside, a wrapper containing over 6 grams and half of cocaine, two precision scales, various drug packaging materials and 9630 euros divided into banknotes of various denominations.

The officers carried out a check at the man’s home, in via Fossacesia, where they found approximately 80 grams of cocaine, hidden in a compartment in the upper part of the armored door, while in a bag hidden inside a vase, different drug packaging material and 1020 euros.
