The outlets differ on the date: Radio Sudamericana says the raids took place at midday on Sunday 1 November 2026, El Litoral says Monday, and 1 November is used here.
The marijuana weight is given as 4.688 kg by El Litoral and 4.668 kg by Radio Sudamericana; the El Litoral figure is used and the difference is not explained.
Radio Sudamericana says both searches were in the Primera Sección Chacra Sur area, while El Litoral describes a second property linked to the network without naming its location, so a single locality is recorded.
No court decision on the 40-year-old's detention, and no outcome of the case, was reported.
Both outlets reproduce the same police account; no independent reporting on the raids was opened.
