A roar, a truck crashing into parked cars and a police car. Did not go unnoticed the scene at sunrise last wednesday in via Riva, toll zone of the a Gallarate.
Behind the hectic chase is there a police operation that led to the seizure of 15 kg of drugs and 36 thousand euros in cash in the hands of a high-caliber drug trafficker, who used his work to get a safe base to hide drugs, containers for collecting used clothing.
«The operation arises from the preventive monitoring carried out by the agents suspicion of the behavior adopted by the man, an employee of a cooperative based in Gallarate (absolutely oblivious to the facts), when emptying bins “, explains the director of the city police station Luigi Marsico.
The man – 55-year-old Albanian citizen, legal in Italy, with multiple prejudices, resident in Gallarate – actually used a garbage container as a drug deposit, to be taken at the right timeAn ideal hiding place, because it did not lead directly to him and because movements in the area did not make him suspicious. However, the dealer made a mistake.: only when handling the bag where he kept the drugs he wore gloves (so as not to leave fingerprints on the blocks). A behavior that has not escaped the police, who have begun to follow it with discretion.
On Wednesday morning a “definitive” surveillance was organized: Plainclothes agents noticed that the man was recovering material from a bag and loading it into the truck in use. And at this point the trap was triggered: 55-year-old man “burned” the barricade and started a manhunt that ended, in fact, in via Riva, where the truck crashed damaging parked cars and also a traffic police car that he was trying to intercept it.
The man had four blocks of cocaine in the van, while another ten blocks were found in the dumpster (all the packages had identical distinguishing marks). During the search of the man’s house, on the edge of downtown Gallarate, the police later found 36 thousand euros cash and a variety of phones, hidden in a cavity in the bedroom attic.
The man was arrested committing a crime, for example.r treatment, resistance to a public official, aggravated harm and injuries (In the arrest, then, an agent reported contusions with a ten-day prognosis).
It is unlikely that man alone could stop a network of traffickers capable of moving such large volumes of drugs and cash. «They are in progress new investigations on possible accomplices “ The manager Luigi Marsico, who has been in charge of the Gallarate police station for three years, only says today. “Today’s operation is a confirmation of the centrality of the Gallaratese in the drug trade of a certain level, “he adds Silvia Passoni, manager of Varese Mobile Squad.
