Open questions the AI reported
No weight was published for the 32 marijuana portions or the hashish portion, so no cannabis kilogram total is recorded; the 82 cocaine pins are excluded from cannabis figures.
Reports describe the substances as similar to marijuana and hashish, without laboratory confirmation.
The operation took place on the morning of 4 November 2026; the two earliest accounts were published on 4 and 5 November.
No charging decision or custody ruling beyond the flagrant arrest was reported; the homicide, kidnapping and attempted-murder investigations were still separate and under way.
The reports do not make clear whether the 2024 kidnapping and attempted murder and the 2025 homicide are treated as one case or separate inquiries.
The two local outlets and Rastro101 appear to draw on the same Civil Police statement and partly on each other, so they are not fully independent accounts.
