A drone carrying drugs and smartphone cell phones into the Avellino prison of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi was intercepted by the penitentiary police. All the material found on board the aircraft - hashish, cocaine, and four phones - was seized. The regional delegate of the Uspp, Maurizio Repola, made this known. "Thanks to the professionalism of the agents - the unionist explains -, coordinated by the commander of the department, a drone carrying three microphones, a smartphone, 180 grams of hashish, and 20 grams of cocaine was intercepted and captured last night." "Despite the shortage of staff, - Repola emphasizes - it was prevented, thanks to the professionalism of the Penitentiary Police operators that the load reached inside the institution." The regional delegate of the USPP congratulates the colleagues of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi who, he says, "once again, in emergency operational conditions, manage to ensure legality and to counteract the traffics of crime between the outside and the inside of the Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi prison." For Ciro Auricchio and Giuseppe Moretti, respectively regional secretary and president of the Uspp, "it is necessary to equip the penitentiary police with technologically advanced tools such as drone deterrents and jammers for the continuous attempts to introduce drugs and cell phones."
