PF targets group that brought cocaine from Bolivia on aircraft

The Federal Police launched, this Friday (26), Operation Mállku to dismantle a criminal group responsible for the logistics of transporting cocaine from Bolivia to Brazil via aircraft.

The action is an offshoot of the seizure of more than 500 kg of cocaine that occurred in February this year, in Marcelândia (MT).

At that stage, the PF and Gefron located an aircraft in a rural area, as well as a firearm and a logistical support vehicle.

The investigations revealed that the drugs came from Bolivia through clandestine air routes, intended to supply criminal groups in Brazilian territory. The elements collected point to an organized structure focused on the internalization of narcotics.

The Federal Court issued seven court orders for this phase of the operation. Two preventive arrest warrants and five search and seizure warrants are being served.

The teams operate in the cities of Ribeirão Preto (SP), Sinop (MT), Alta Floresta (MT) and Marcelândia (MT).

The focus of Operation Mállku is to disrupt the logistics chain that allows drugs to systematically enter the country by air.
