Former Italy soccer player Luigi
Sartor has been arrested for growing marijuana in an abandoned
farm in the hills near Parma, the Gazzetta di Parma reported.
Former Juventus, Inter, Roma and Parma defender Sartor, 46,
chose to live in the Emilian city 11 years ago.
He has been placed under house arrest after police caught him
tending to 104 marijuana plants with an accomplice at Lesignano
Palmia last Friday.
The accomplice was named as Marco Mantovani, also 46.
The plants would have produced over two kilogrammes of
marijuana, police said.
Police said they had been watching the farm for weeks after
spotting suspicious lights and detecting the smell of marijuana.
Sartor got two Italy caps between 1998 and 2002.
