Open questions the AI reported
The 41.2 kg marijuana figure is reported as approximate, not an exact measured weight.
The two arrested people are identified only by age and sex; no names or court outcome beyond indictment were reported.
The driver who fled has not been identified and it is unclear whether the two arrested people were the bale carriers, the other occupants, or one of each.
No judicial decision on converting the flagrante arrests into preventive detention or on accessing the seized phones had been reported.
Both accounts reproduce the Civil Police account of the same operation and are not independent of it.
