The reported weight of 110.6 kg is an aggregate for the marijuana tablets found; no separate figure for packing or purity was published.
No charge has been formally filed and no court outcome was reported; the case was at the Federal Police station stage.
The articles do not say where the load was collected or where it was going, only that the car carried Paraguayan plates and the men were Paraguayan nationals.
The exact point on the BR-480 where the stop took place was not given; coordinates are for the city of Chapecó.
The Oeste Mais page carries PRF handout photos that appear to be the same images distributed to other outlets; only the RCO image address could be confirmed, so one photo is listed.
Left out vehicles, as its quotation was not found in Portal Oeste Mais.
The page publishes four photographs of the seized tablets, but only one direct image address could be recovered; the caption carries no credit beyond the outlet, so it is not established whether they are PRF handout images already recorded from RCO.
The name of the Federal Police station is given as a delegacia rather than a superintendência, a detail not stated in the earlier accounts.
The Lê Notícias photo carries no credit and cannot be confirmed as a distinct asset from the PRF handout images already linked from RCO.
The page's second image (lenoticias.com.br/extranet/uploads/Noticia/5703398d480a7f157f88e2fe8253da5f.jpg) has no caption and was not listed as media.
Caco da Rosa gives the location only as the BR-480 in Chapecó, so the exact point of the stop remains unrecorded.
Caco da Rosa does not say where the load was collected or where it was going.
The Caco da Rosa photo credited PRF/Divulgação appears to be the same PRF handout image as those linked from other outlets; its direct image address is now recorded in media.
ClicRDC gives the same PRF account as the outlets already cited and does not say where the load was collected or where it was going.
The ClicRDC photograph credited to the PRF may be the same handout already linked from other outlets, but its direct address differs from those recorded.
