When officers approached and ordered them to stop, those involved abandoned the bundles and fled toward a ravine area while the boat fled toward Paraguay.[1] No one was detained at the scene, as those involved fled and the boat escaped toward Paraguay.[1] The Federal Court in Eldorado, under Dr. Miguel Ángel Guerrero, took charge of the case and ordered the seizure of the drugs, which were placed at the disposal of the Federal Public Prosecutor.[1]

Officers recovered 14 bundles holding 368 marijuana bricks weighing more than 355 kilograms, which the force valued at more than 825 million pesos.[1]

Prefectura Naval Argentina seized the marijuana in Puerto Libertad, Misiones, during an operation under a national Security Ministry investigation against drug trafficking on the borders.[1] Criminal-intelligence investigators had set up a control on the country’s river border after preliminary investigation leads when they detected bundles being handled around a boat beached on the bank.[1]
