In this regard, there are two subjects for whom the mandatory expulsion order was decreed by Police Commissioner Ioppolo with a ban on returning to the municipality of Patti for 3 years, issued following the activity of the policemen of the Public Security Commissariat engaged in extraordinary territorial control services. An activity which confirmed the numerous precedents of the two self-styled street vendors for specific crimes against property, the irregularities in the street vendor activity carried out (selling perfumes), as well as the absence of any authorization to practice the profession. 25 packs of perfume seized.
During the investigations, a person found in possession of some doses of hashish ready to be sold and a precision scale was reported to the Judicial Authority; another person was also reported for unjustified carrying of objects capable of offending and resisting a public official and sanctioned for manifest drunkenness in a public place.
