SENAD returned to the same estancia on 8 October 2026 and cleared nine more hectares; that follow-up is a separate report.
Investigators estimated a USD 7.3 million loss to traffickers using Brazilian retail values; that is an official estimate, not a street price observed in the report.
Neither outlet names those responsible or reports an arrest.
