TERRE ROVERESCHE The drugs branded with the Real Madrid coat of arms and 25 thousand euros in cash. Yesterday the plea agreement was reached for a 29-year-old from Piagge, arrested last August, resident in an isolated farmhouse, known in the world of rave parties. The agents of the Pesaro flying squad were on top of him and when they knocked on his door they found the loot: 4.9 kilos of hashish and 8 grams of marijuana.

The bulk was contained in 14 vacuum-packed bags weighing 4.3 kilos.
Then other packages scattered here and there including a glass covered with a cork, containing a 76.9 gram piece of hashish. The loaves all had the emblem of the 15th European Cup won by Real Madrid, a sort of trademark. Almost all of the narcotics had been placed inside a refrigerator in the garage of the house. The precision scale and everything needed for packaging could not be missing. And then the money, he had so much that he invented a space-saving operation: 25 thousand euros were kept in four vacuumed and compact vacuum bags. According to the investigators, the 29-year-old managed the drug dealing from that farmhouse, supplying the entire area.
During validation, the young man explained that he had started dealing because he found himself unemployed. Previously, in that farmhouse, he ran a duck and goose farm. Then when he stopped and sold the over 500 birds for 40 euros each, he started another activity, the illegal one. Part of the 25 thousand euros would be proceeds from the sale of the geese. The rest would be reinvested. As? Buying the substance on Telegram in encrypted chats. Yesterday, defended by the lawyer Raffaella Ricci, he agreed to a plea deal of 1 year and 10 months with a suspended sentence. 5 thousand euros were returned to him, considered the fruit of his regular work.
