Amambay drug operation dismantles 103 camps and destroys 92 tons of marijuana
In a joint operation known as Operation Nueva Alianza 58, the Paraguayan National Anti-Drug Secretariat (Senad) and the Brazilian Federal Police dismantled 103 drug production and storage camps in the Amambay department.
During six days of aerial and terrestrial incursions, authorities eradicated 66 hectares of marijuana crops and destroyed over 92 tons of processed marijuana prepared for distribution. Technical estimates suggest that the combined volume of eradicated crops and seized drugs represents more than 290 tons of marijuana removed from circulation. This operation resulted in an estimated economic loss of over USD 45.5 million for criminal narcotics organizations.
