Ornella Muti’s elder sister arrested for illegal drug trade

Italian police arrested actress Ornella Muti’s elder sister, Claudia Rivelli on suspicion of importing and distributing drugs including synthetic substances, RIA Novosti reports, citing  «Corriere della Sera» newspaper.

Thirty-nine people were arrested for selling “New Psychoactive Substances” through dark web on Sep. 28. According to a report, 11 were detained, and house arrest was chosen as a pre-trial measure against 28. Police found out that the leaders of the gang who were dealing with international narco-trafficking had invested the illegally obtained money in cryptocurrency.

Corriere della Sera reports that 71-year-old Rivelli was among the people against whom house arrest is chosen as a pre-trial measure. In mid-September, Italian police had already arrested the actress when they had found three vials of GbI (gamma-butyrolactone) at her house in Rome. In her testimony, the actress declared that she was using the liquid to clean silver.
