Arrested by the Carabinieri of the Ostia station, in agreement with the Prosecutor's Office, two men and a woman, all already known to the police, for possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing and illegal possession of weapons.

In a house on Via Marino Fasan, an area known to investigators as the Spada stronghold, the Carabinieri seized approximately 174 grams of crack, a stolen sawn-off shotgun, a revolver without a serial number, the sum of approximately 6,000 euros in cash, believed to be the proceeds of illegal activity, as well as various electronic peepholes and video surveillance cameras installed in the building and viewable inside the house, presumably to monitor the arrival of the police.

The three were arrested and taken to the courtrooms in Piazzale Clodio where the Rome Tribunal validated the arrests.
