They wanted to invade Rome of specialist drugs and stimulants men whose sale would have earned tens of thousands of Euros and endangered the health of consumers. They took them in a suitcase, sure to go unnoticed customs controls but the soldiers of the Guardia di Finanza of Fiumicino airport have sensed smuggling and have intercepted traffickers, denouncing them for unlawful importation of medicines. Two seizures operated to customs gate at the Leonardo da Vinci. In the first case were intercepted more than 2,100 packages of an anticancer drug and a stimulant prepared.

Man, already well known for previous seizures of drugs, started from Cine, to go unnoticed had direct flights to Cair o and from there reached Rome. His bags were filled with over 2000 pieces of “Viagra”, the alternative drug “Viagra”, and 100 packages of “Oncofluor”, in the absence of the necessary authorizations issued by the competent Ministry of Health for the import and sale in the territory national.
