The article reports on the increasing establishment of air routes utilized by drug traffickers operating out of Bolivia and Paraguay, particularly aimed at connecting to the Paraná ports in Argentina. In recent federal operations, authorities intercepted four aircraft carrying a substantial total of 1,739 kilograms of cocaine, further illustrating the gravity of the drug trade in the region. Additionally, three other planes previously used in drug trafficking were also seized, indicating a significant crackdown yet persistent operations in the aerial transport of narcotics.

On a related note, an unusual incident occurred recently in a school in Avellaneda, Santa Fe, where a man claiming to be Bolivian sought help after purportedly crashing a small plane. This led to local police involvement, who subsequently reported the case to authorities in Chaco province on the chance that the man was attempting to flee northward along Route 11. The situation escalated when officers in Chaco found a Colombian national who had entered Argentina illegally, which raises questions about cross-border illicit activities and the complex networks in place.

These developments underline the ongoing challenges faced by Argentine law enforcement in combating drug trafficking, as well as the regional dynamics that facilitate this trade. The drug routes from neighboring countries like Bolivia and Paraguay contribute to a larger international narcotics issue, which continues to evolve in strategy and scale, necessitating coordinated efforts from various security agencies to address effectively.
