The Federal Revenue of Brazil successfully seized 76 kilograms of cocaine hidden inside parts of agricultural machinery at a transport company located in Campo Grande. The illicit cargo had departed from Ponta Porã in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and was intended for delivery in Curitiba, Paraná. The operation relied on the assistance of a sniffer dog to locate the contraband.
According to the Federal Revenue, the discovery resulted from an intelligence action monitoring package transport within Mato Grosso do Sul. This investigative work involved analyzing invoices and other documentation to identify suspicious shipments. The cocaine was found concealed within the machinery parts after the package arrived at the transport facility in the state capital.
No arrests were made during the seizure. Authorities stated that the transport company is considered a victim of the crime, and consequently, its name will not be disclosed. The case is now under police investigation to identify the sender of the package and those responsible for the drug trafficking.
