Italian Court dismisses appeal as inadmissible due to manifestly unfounded argument on drug trafficking intent.

The Court of Cassazione declared the appeal by Renato Ciarlantini inadmissible, ordering him to pay legal costs and a fine. The lower court had reduced his sentence from three years to one year and eight months by excluding recidivism but confirmed guilt based on drug possession. The appellant argued the conviction for trafficking relied solely on the quantity of drugs without sufficient evidence of intent, yet the appellate court found this reasoning logically sound by considering storage methods and the defendant's financial incompatibility with personal use.
