The National Anti-Drug Secretariat (Senad) of Paraguay, together with the Public Ministry, has successfully dismantled a clandestine camp used for the production of 'premium marijuana' in Capitán Bado, located at the border with Brazil. This operation is part of a larger initiative aimed at combating drug trafficking in the region. The camp was discovered to be organized much like those operated by specialized criminal groups, featuring extensive mechanized cultivation processes.

In the initial phase of the operation, law enforcement agents managed to destroy a significant area of marijuana crops that were interconnected across the region. This first step was crucial in disrupting the network of cultivation that supported the larger distribution of marijuana. Subsequently, authorities focused on eliminating the support camp associated with the production process, where they uncovered various pieces of equipment, including generators, refrigeration units, and refrigerators, all critical for maintaining a continuous and efficient production line.

The investigations have indicated that this operation was not an isolated incident but part of a larger trend in organized drug production in the border region between Brazil and Paraguay. Authorities are now assessing the implications of this dismantling on local drug trafficking activities and the potential for similar operations in the future, given the established networks that persist in this lucrative illegal market.
