Overview
- Gendarmería stopped multiple vehicles on Route Nacional 34 between May 21 and May 23 and seized large cocaine shipments, including 112.970 kg hidden in a Bolivia‑plated fuel cistern and 42.248 kg concealed in a Renault Clio.
- Canine teams and technical screening triggered the inspections: trained dogs Barak and Doli alerted officers and mobile X‑ray scanners found packages in a VW Amarok totaling about 13.890 kg.
- Parallel enforcement in Salta led to raids on clothing wholesalers that recovered cash reported at roughly 352 million pesos, luxury vehicles and contraband goods as federal prosecutors opened money‑laundering and customs investigations.
- Mexico’s Secretaría de Marina executed four simultaneous cateos in Chiapas on May 22 and seized maritime gear, fuel drums and 50 packages resembling cocaine while detaining four suspects, authorities said.
- Officials have secured the evidence and detained drivers and suspects while forensic testing and federal inquiries continue to trace the shipments’ origins, likely destinations such as Rosario or Buenos Aires, and links to broader trafficking networks.
