Italian rapper Tony Boy, born Antonio Hueber, was arrested in Milan following a police operation that uncovered cocaine, hashish, marijuana, a .35 caliber pistol with a filed-off serial number, and ammunition. The arrest occurred early Saturday morning near the Città Studi area after officers intercepted Hueber and a 32-year-old companion in a vehicle. A subsequent search of Hueber’s residence yielded approximately 4 grams of cocaine, 8 grams of hashish, 1 gram of marijuana, and a precision scale. Investigators also reportedly found several canisters of helium, which are used by some youths for hallucinogenic effects. Hueber, who has over one million Instagram followers, was transferred to San Vittore prison. The Milan Prosecutor’s Office has requested pretrial detention, describing the 26-year-old artist as having a “very high level of dangerousness.” He faces multiple charges, including drug trafficking, illegal possession of weapons, resisting authority, receiving stolen goods, and the unlawful processing of data after using social media to livestream the police raid. ~~Following his arrest, Hueber underwent~~ During interrogation before judge Chiara ~~Valori.
