Open questions the AI reported
The reports give no names or ages for the couple and do not say whether they were charged or booked under a specific offence.
No court outcome, custody decision or street value for the drugs was published.
Leouve reports 49.5 grams of cocaine and 32.5 grams of crack, against 49 and 32 grams in the Spaço FM and Rádio Caxias accounts; neither figure affects the cannabis quantities.
No single weight is given for the cannabis plant, so only a plant count of one is recorded.
All three accounts reproduce the same Brigada Militar 12º BPM statement and the same handout photo, so they are not independent reporting.
Rádio Solaris published a matching page on the same arrest but returned an access error when opened, so it is not cited.
