Italian drug raids result in home arrests in Montesarchio and Brescia

A 46‑year‑old man from Montesarchio was arrested by Carabinieri during a drug investigation after a home search uncovered about 100 g of crack and hashish. The judge at the Benevento court confirmed the arrest and imposed house arrest, rejecting a request for detention in prison.

In Brescia’s Fornaci district, police seized more than 100 g of heroin together with smaller amounts of cocaine and hashish from the home of a 41‑year‑old man already under house arrest for a prior drug case. The court validated the arrest and ordered continued house arrest, highlighting the resurgence of heroin in the local market.
