Open questions the AI reported
The crack and cocaine weights are reported separately but are not cannabis, so they are excluded; the 12.5-kilogram combined total is therefore not used as a cannabis figure.
No street value estimate for the drugs was published.
Sources say eight and a half tablets were found at the Bela Aurora address without stating the substance or its weight, so that amount could not be assigned to the skunk figure.
Police describe a second suspect involved in receiving money from drug sales, but no second arrest is reported by the time of publication.
The man is identified only by his age, with no name, plea or court decision reported beyond the in flagrante charge.
All three accounts reproduce the same Espírito Santo civil police statement, so they are not independent reporting.
The page photo is credited only as Reprodução/SESP, with no caption stating which of the addresses or which seized items it shows.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in ES Hoje: He was then sent to the prison system and remains at the disposal of the courts.
The four bars of skunk found at the first address are not given a separate weight, so their share of the roughly 10 kilograms of skunk is not known.
