Italian TikToker wanted for drug offences in Alicante and Tenerife
Antonio Gemignani, a Neapolitan TikToker who goes by Papusciello on social media, is being sought by Italian authorities for drug-related offences. Since Tenerife and Alicante are the last locations from which he wrote on his social media, the authorities are searching for this Neapolitan national in various regions of Spain.
The Torre Annunziata Public Prosecutor’s Office (south) conducted an operation last Thursday to destroy dozens of drug sales locations between the cities of Naples and Salerno, affecting 51 people, including Gemingnani.
The judge mandated that 15 of them be placed in preventive detention in prison, 17 were placed under house arrest, and 19 were had to report to the police station daily in order to stay in their town.
According to local media reports, Gemignani, a 47-year-old TikToker known as Papusciello, has more than 150,000 followers for his comedic videos. However, since the police operation, his whereabouts have been unknown.
He has, however, released a number of movies in recent days that appear to take place in various locations throughout Spain, such the town of Calpe in the province of Alicante or the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
The videos have since been deleted and on Sunday his profile on the platform became “private”, that is, closed to the public.
