37 kilos in 33 plastic bags. And the customs triggers the arrest

Maxi seizure of drugs by the financial police of the Ponte Chiasso Group. A 47-year-old man from Como, residing in Lugano, was stopped while trying to cross the state border to reach Lugano where he was supposed to deliver the important quantity of 37 and a half kilos of marijuana.

The drug, divided into 33 transparent and vacuum-packed plastic bags, was contained in two separate bags that had been placed – without even bothering too much to hide them – on the seat of the Toyota that the Como native was driving and also in the trunk. There were also 3,000 Swiss francs on board the car, which would be the consideration earned for the risky journey.
