They recruited couriers on Telegram to distribute their "goods" around Italy. University students or unemployed people who had just turned 18 who, paid between 500 and 1,500 euros, distributed the marijuana, hashish and cocaine that left the Moncalieri warehouse. There where the drugs were controlled by armed officers and kept in cellars, garages, wardrobes and cavities in the walls. But the guns were not enough to defend the traffickers, given that in recent days the police carried out six precautionary measures against the organisation's leaders: three, an Italian and two Moroccans, ended up in prison while an Albanian is under house arrest. For two others, an Italian and a Moroccan, the obligation to sign and residence ban was triggered. All are accused of illicit drug trafficking.

The Flying Squad's investigation is coordinated by prosecutor Eugenia Ghi and is entitled "Operation Driver" precisely because of this tendency to involve unsuspected delivery drivers (in English driver means chauffeur). Also thanks to the support of experts from the Central Operational Service (SCO) and the Central Anti-Drug Directorate, the investigators reconstructed a supply and distribution network that started from Piedmont and reached as far as Liguria, Lombardy, Veneto and Lazio.
