The judge for the preliminary hearing in Santa Maria Capua Vetere accepted the defence objection on territorial jurisdiction for three men from Montemiletto accused of possessing cocaine for sale.

According to IrpiniaNews, the decision moves the proceedings to Avellino rather than Santa Maria Capua Vetere. AvellinoToday reports that the alleged transactions took place in Montemiletto, in the province of Avellino.

The records will be sent from the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prosecutor’s office to the Avellino prosecutor’s office, which must request committal for trial. The charges remain allegations, and no finding of criminal liability has been established.
