Wesley Igor Pereira Duré, 22, was living in the house of an Operation Ifrit target in Vila Ipiranga.[1] He was staying at the address of another suspect, Renan Braian Garcia Presotto, who was not found at the scene.[1] The arrest took place on the morning of Wednesday 4 November 2026 during the execution of Operation Ifrit search warrants in Campo Grande.[1]

A preliminary expert report listed 125.3 grams of hashish and 9.36 grams of crumble, a concentrated cannabis form known as gourmet.[1] The same report also found tablets testing positive for 3,4-MDA, a prohibited synthetic substance excluded from the cannabis total.[1] Some of the drugs were in the kitchen refrigerator and another portion was in the property’s gourmet area.[1] The team also collected a precision scale, an iPhone 17 Pro Max, an Acer notebook and image-recording equipment.[1]

Duré told the Federal Police he uses drugs and admitted owning part of the seized material.[1] He said the substance found in the refrigerator was already in the house when he came to live there and did not belong to him.[1] He also denied knowing the other drugs, which were reportedly found in two locked bedrooms.[1] The Federal Police treated the situation as flagrante for storing narcotics.[1] He was taken to the Federal Police regional superintendency in Mato Grosso do Sul, where he was booked.[1]

The arrest occurred during Operation Ifrit, launched by the Federal Police and the Federal Revenue service against alleged international drug and arms trafficking, money laundering and other crimes.[1] The Federal Court issued 26 arrest warrants in seven states.[1] At least 12 people were arrested in Mato Grosso do Sul, including suspected members of the investigated group and police officers suspected of collaborating with it.[1]
