Operation
A team led by prosecutor Luis Fernando Escobar destroyed two cannabis plots at a rural property in Santa Lucía, Itakyry, Alto Paraná, on 2 September 2026.[1] The intervention began at about 07:30 under a judicial order, and fiscal assistant Andrea Servián accompanied Escobar.[1] The team included Paraguay’s National Anti-Drug Secretariat (SENAD), whose regional office joined the specialized anti-narcotics unit for Alto Paraná, with special-forces support.[1]
Area cleared
The team found two plots in the growing stage that together covered approximately four hectares.[1] After inspecting and confirming the plants, agents eradicated and destroyed them, the report said, to stop the crop from progressing to processing and sale.[1] La Clave describes the intervention as part of rural cultivation enforcement in Alto Paraná.[1] It gives no count of plants, reports no arrests and names no owner of the property or number of agents involved.[1]
