October 27, 2021 Ms. Claudia Rivelli "uncensored" was "the author of 8 import pipelines of significant supplies of Gbl from abroad, then, following careful dissimulation of the contents of the shipping packages, sent to her son Giovanni Maria Leone, resident in London ". So writes the investigating judge of the Rome court in a passage of the custody order carried out today by the Nas carabinieri against 39 people for drug trafficking, or Nsp new psychoactive substances such as the so-called 'rape drug'.

"Parcel arrived hidden" and then "let me know the news little by little, otherwise I'll get too excited until Thursday". This is the tenor of some messages found in the seized cell phone of Mrs. Claudia Rivelli, sister of the movie star Ornella Muti. Rivelli ended up under house arrest today and in the order concerning 39 people the judge wrote that "numerous whatsapp messages exchanged with her son Giovanni were isolated in the the concealment at the frontier of the narcotic substance ".

In the provision of the investigating judge Roberto Saulino the entire galaxy of synthetic drug trafficking purchased from abroad on the web or on the darkweb is reconstructed. "The tenor of the WhatsApp chats that Rivelli and the circumstance that the suspect disguised the real content of the shipments appear to be elements that are objectively indicative of the latter's full awareness and willingness to carry out criminally relevant conduct - writes the judge - acting as a screen for facilitate the child in the importation of substance in the United Kingdom where it is considered illegal like Italy, thus managing to circumvent customs controls ".

The Gbl was brought from Holland by Rivelli and her son Giovanni. According to the investigators, the man "placed the order from London and then sent it to Rome to his mother's address, making the package payable to his grandmother, with the full consent of Rivelli". Once the package arrived - he adds - "Rivelli replaced the packaging and poured the substance into a bottle, in such a way as to make it appear at first sight to contain simple shampoo, then organizing the new shipment to England" .

In the investigation of the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office, coordinated by the adjunct Giovanni Conzo, the responsibility of the woman, sister of the actress and model Ornella Muti, emerged, who had already been arrested last September 15 after the Polaria agents had found and seized three bottles containing a total of one liter of substance Gbl. The lady's name is involved in a passage of the complex investigation that has revealed the responsibilities of a long series of subjects, owners of accommodation facilities and teachers, priests, employees of ASL, in which synthetic drugs were obtained, often almost always making them arrive from abroad, by buying it on the web or on the darkweb.

When Ms. Rivelli was arrested in September she defended herself by explaining that she had sent the substance to her son in London "because he uses it to clean the car, but I use it to clean the house". In particular, the woman is accused of importing and selling drugs because "illegally from Holland, on a quarterly basis, she imported various bottles of Gbl, sending part of it to her son residing in London after having replaced the packaging and label indicating 'shampoo' in so as to mislead the customs ", is explained in the judicial measure carried out today by Nas. 

"What at first glance would appear to be a 'niche' traffic, devolved only to some 'lovers' of the sector, turned out to be much more extensive and fueled by pressing consumer requests". The investigating judge of Rome Roberto Saulino writes this in the precautionary custody order against 39 people arrested by the Nas carabinieri. 

'' The investigations revealed the modus operandi adopted for importing dangerous drugs from abroad. More specifically - writes the investigating judge Roberto Saulino - a first method involves online ordering, payment and receipt of shipments directly from foreign suppliers ''. '' The technical activities carried out on the utilities used by the main protagonists of the group of the Roman family have also made it possible to shed light on an alternative, albeit certainly more classic, modus operandi. Following the seizures carried out between October and November 2019, the organizational references to trips abroad, to Germany and Spain, carried out to provide for the transport of drugs, were captured by the interceptions and the postponement to the widespread use of encrypted chats,which were then imported into Italy also using the dangerous ovulation technique ''.
