Federal Police arrest two people in operation against drug trafficking in MS

The Federal Police arrested two individuals in Corumbá, Brazil, during Operation Black Jack targeting drug trafficking in the region.

On Tuesday, September 10, the Federal Police of Brazil arrested two individuals and executed six arrest warrants in Corumbá, as part of Operation Black Jack, which is focused on investigating drug trafficking activities in Mato Grosso do Sul. This operation was supported by the local Civil Police, demonstrating a cooperative approach to tackling organized crime. In addition to the arrests, authorities seized multiple vehicles, firearms, and mobile phones, which will undergo forensic analysis to trace further links in the drug trafficking network.

The investigation, which began in 2025 following the seizure of 120 kilograms of marijuana from what appeared to be an uninhabited property, has revealed the identity of the landowner and two other individuals believed to be involved in the drug trafficking operations. The seizure not only highlights the ongoing issues related to drug trafficking in the area but also underscores the importance of continued investigations to dismantle such operations.

As the Federal Police expand their inquiries to identify additional suspects, it reflects a broader effort to control drug trafficking in one of Brazil's key drug routes. The results of this operation may have implications for the local community and law enforcement as they work to address the challenges posed by organized crime in the region.
