Open questions the AI reported
No separate weight was published for the tablets versus the two sacks, so the 34.59 kg cannot be split.
V9 places Aclimação in Araguari while two Uberlândia outlets place the house in Aclimação, Uberlândia, saying only the earlier case was registered in Araguari, so the report uses Uberlândia.
V9 and Alô Uberlândia say two men were arrested for trafficking and association for trafficking while Paranaíba Mais attributes one suspected crime to each man, and sources do not clarify whether both face both crimes.
Police found three men at the scene but no source explains what happened to the 37-year-old.
No formal charge, custody decision or court outcome beyond transfer to the on-duty station was reported.
No valuation for the cannabis was published, only the R$650 in seized cash.
All three accounts repeat the Military Police version and no PMMG official statement could be opened directly.
Military police and the Federal Police-coordinated Ficco task force arrested three men after finding cannabis-derivative laboratories in a Sumaré house and a Nova Odessa apartment with three indoor grow tents. Police linked the sites to dry and ice cannabis products and reported about 3.6 kg of marijuana, plus cocaine and production equipment.
Brazil's Federal Police launched Operation Pinotus on 6 November 2026, serving arrest warrants in Camboriú, Santa Catarina, and Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, plus one search warrant in the state capital. The force said the investigation began with the seizure of about 167 kg of marijuana in Corumbá in September 2025 and targets a group accused of drug trafficking and violent crime.
Três Lagoas's women's police station carried out Operação Sclopetum on 4 November 2026, serving seven warrants in Três Lagoas and Inocência and detaining two men: one for breaching a protection order and one whose house held cannabis, seeds, a scale and two grow tents. The second man was charged with drug trafficking, and no weight or number of plants was published.
Federal Police launched Operation Caronte on 4 November 2026 to dismantle a suspected interstate trafficking network first identified after a 25 kg cannabis seizure in Barra do Garças in July 2023. Officers are executing three preventive arrest warrants and five search warrants in Amazonas and Ceará under court orders.
