Yesterday morning (December 7th), the carabinieri of Biancavilla, with the help of their colleagues from the canine unit, searched the house of a 41-year-old son of a historic mafia figure in the town. After surrounding the building, they conducted a raid, accompanied by the drug-sniffing dog King. Once inside the house, King detected a scent and led the officers to the kitchen, where he began to sniff a dresser intently. Inside a drawer, the carabinieri found a large, vacuum-sealed bag containing several grams of marijuana. On top of the dresser, they also found a plastic cup with 135 euros in various banknotes and coins, proceeds from the illegal activity. Continuing the search, the officers found a sheet with names and numbers in the bedroom, evidence of drug dealing. This led to the arrest of the 41-year-old, and the seized marijuana will be analyzed in a laboratory to determine its tetrahydrocannabinol content.
