ROME Italian police have discovered a marijuana farm worth about EUR 3mn in an abandoned Mussolini-era tunnel in Rome. A special financial police unit carrying out a patrol Saturday "was alerted by the strong odor of marijuana coming from the air vents" of the tunnel near the Rome-Casilina train station, a police spokesman told AFP. Police discover marijuana farm in Mussolini-era tunnel The police found "a 4,000 square meter area where greenhouses were set up for growing and producing marijuana," the financial police said in a statement on its website. The police arrested a 57-year-old man and were looking for other suspects after seizing 340 kilograms of the drug grown in rooms lit by halogen lamps and fed by an extensive underground irrigation system. Police had first discovered what appeared to be a mushroom farm before finding a moveable brick wall hiding the marijuana plantation, the spokesman said. In a storage area, police found black garbage bags filled with newly cut plants and small bags with the finished product. Also found were machines for drying the plants, scales and chemical products for preparing the cannabis. The tunnel was part of an ambitious project for the underground train line launched in the 1930s by the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, which was later abandoned, AFP has reported.
