A boat off the coast of Castellammare di Stabia. On board receivers and drug buyers. Away from prying eyes.
It looks like a scene from an American film in which retail drug dealers and drug dealers deal with consignments from South America. In this case the drug has nothing to do with it. Even if some of the suspects were also accused of "possession of drugs". But simply because many of the expensive medicines, stolen and sold to compliant pharmacists or abroad, are considered narcotics.
The soldiers of the Guardia di Finanza of Fiumicino, electronically and physically following Vincenzo and Pasquale Alfano, ascertained that they were selling the stocks of stolen drugs to the highest bidder. A kind of auction. The pieces were collected in warehouses in the Neapolitan hinterland after being stolen from hospitals in half of Italy. This is where the inventory took place. Hospital medicines certainly could not be resold to Italian hospitals or even to pharmacies (they have different labels and packaging).
For this they were packaged and sent to Albania, Hungary, Bulgaria.
Here there were those who bought them and put them up for sale below cost. But in some cases the business was even greater because there are drugs abroad which, due to their difficulty in finding them, have market prices even double those in Italy. For non-hospital medicines everything was easier. Two pharmacies were identified (one in Naples and the other in Salerno) which took the stolen drugs on "consignment" and then paid them below cost to the gang.
