Open questions the AI reported
No weight was published for the cannabis, so only the 135 packaged portions plus one large portion can be reported.
Neither account gives the cocaine weight; the cash is the Civil Police figure of 2,044 reais.
The two accounts describe the cocaine differently, as a medium portion plus smaller portions and as a single portion, so no cocaine figure is recorded.
No charge sheet or court decision on custody was reported; the suspect remained at the courts' disposal.
The homicide that prompted the search is a separate event not covered here, and no suspect in it was reported arrested.
