IN BRIEF

Cemetery caretaker of Desenzano arrested for cocaine trafficking

Desenzano del Garda: Cemetery Keeper Sentenced for Cocaine Dealing. The ruling, which imposes a one-year prison sentence under expedited proceedings, was handed down to a 30-year-old man arrested last March. Police investigations revealed that the keeper had organized a drug dealing operation within the cemetery, taking advantage of the perceived safety and lack of oversight in that location. Following multiple reports from citizens, the man was placed under surveillance until he was caught red-handed with drugs and a sum of money.

Following his arrest, the keeper also faced the revocation of his probation, which had been granted previously for an earlier conviction. Local authorities have increased patrols in the area to prevent further illicit activities and ensure public safety.
