Pursuit and seizures in Fiuggi
On the night of 12 November, at around 3.15 a.m., a patrol from the State Police Commissariat in Fiuggi spotted a vehicle with three occupants fleeing near via Colle Michelangelo. This was followed by a pursuit through the streets of the town, characterised by high-speed and particularly dangerous manoeuvres, which ended in the Altipiani di Arcinazzo area where the vehicle was intercepted and stopped. According to questure.poliziadistato.it, the driver was charged with dangerous fleeing, in addition to the offences charged against the other two passengers.
An initial inspection of the driver revealed an electronic identity card registered to him, lacking the microchip. The document was seized for forgery. In the following hours, police officers extended their search to the home of the woman among the passengers, with the help of a police dog unit. Inside a waste container, a precision scale was found, approximately 13 grammes of cocaine, traces consistent with drug use and a second electronic identity card registered to the woman with the microchip altered.
All material was seized. The two passengers were charged as free persons with possession of narcotics and material falsification of administrative documents. The driver was also referred for dangerous fleeing. As clarified by the authorities, the suspects remain at present only persons under investigation and their position will subsequently be determined by the judicial authority, in accordance with the constitutional principle of presumption of innocence.
