Regional anti-narcotics agents from Concepción ran Operation Aquidabán II on Tuesday
29 September 2026 on the Estancia Sanguina Cue property in rural Yby Yaú, with support
from the departmental police command.[1][2]
Concepción al Día said work ran from about 07:00 to 17:00 under prosecutor Arnaldo
Argüello of the specialised anti-drug unit.[1]Officers found four plots of about
three hectares each, all in harvest stage, totalling about 12 hectares of marijuana.[1][2]They also found about 2,000 kilograms of dry branches and two precarious camps with
living gear.[1]Samples were taken, then plants and other evidence were destroyed by
controlled burning.[1]
The official estimate put production from the 12 hectares at about 36,000 kilograms,
with an economic loss of about G. 5.4 billion (roughly USD 93,750 at local prices).[1]ABC Color gave the same hectarage and 36,000 kg figure without the branch weight or
schedule.[2]Both accounts said the action was part of the SUMAR anti-drug plan.[1][2]
Concepción al Día published a photograph of officers cutting plants during the raid.[1]
