of narcotics tied to federal investigation files.[2] The burned loads included
green cannabis herb as well as cocaine hydrochloride and synthetic

and Federal Ministerial Police handled the chain of custody and verified each
package before it entered the incinerator.[1] Representatives of different

Open questions the AI reported
- Neither account gives a separate date for the incineration; 31 October 2026 is the publication date of the MVS Noticias report and the date of the FGR post.
- The 1,813 kg figure covers cannabis, cocaine and methamphetamine together, and no separate cannabis weight was published.
- No arrests, charges or court step connected with the incineration were reported.
- The FGR post also carries further photographs and a video of the incineration whose individual content and direct video address could not be confirmed, so only the photograph on the MVS Noticias page is listed.
- The text gives a weight ("1,813 kg") but the figures have no kg_seized; check whether it belongs there.
