After confirmation of the drug's presence, the material was sent to the Federal Police office in Santos, where it will undergo technical analysis and official weighing before being destroyed. Additionally, the agency will continue investigations to identify those responsible for the crime.
The vessel was bound for the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, with a stopover in the municipality of Paranaguá in Paraná. No one was arrested during the operation at the terminal.
According to Brazilian Federal Revenue, this is the sixth seizure of the year carried out in the Santos complex. The operation is a result of the surveillance and enforcement work conducted by the agency at the Port of Santos.
