On the night of Thursday, October 19, the Federal Highway Police (PRF) intercepted a significant cargo in Picos, southern Piauí, which included various items such as weight-loss pens, perfumes, cell phones, appliances, and a video game. These items were reportedly sourced from Paraguay and were destined for Itapajé in Ceará. Law enforcement officials noted that this seized cargo lacked proper fiscal documentation, raising concerns over illegal import practices.

During the interception, police found four units of Mounjaro, a medication intended for weight loss, in the vehicle. The importation of such medications requires authorization and must adhere to regulatory standards set by health authorities. The absence of these authorizations in this case indicates potential violations of import laws, highlighting the risks associated with unregulated health products.

The driver of the truck was detained by the PRF for further questioning. This incident underscores ongoing concerns about smuggling and illegal trade across borders, particularly with items that can affect health. The seizure not only prevents these potentially dangerous products from entering the market but also reflects the PRF's efforts to enforce legal compliance in trade activities within Brazil.
