Police in Porto Cervo arrested Alessandro Diaz, a former Dinamo Sassari basketball player, after a check on provincial road SP13 between Palau and Cannigione. A search of his camper uncovered 43 doses of cocaine weighing about 1.5–1.6 grams each, 6,200 euros in cash, and materials for cutting and packaging drugs. Diaz, who lived in the camper at a campsite in Arzachena, was taken to Nuchis prison; the investigation began on 8 October following a report of suspected drug dealing in Palau.
