Bags of Cocaine Weighing 39 Kg Found on Plane Carrying Brazil President’s Team

Bags weighing 39kg filled with cocaine were discovered on a military plane traveling with the president of Brazil to the G20 summit on Tuesday.

The bags of cocaine was allegedly planted there by a Brazilian air force member.

The Brazilian air force officer was detained when the plane was making a stopover in Seville, Spain, before heading to this week’s G20 summit in Tokyo, Japan.

The officer has however been “suspected of transporting narcotic substances,” the Brazilian Defence Military said in a statement to CNN, which prompted officials to search the plane.

Spanish police said cocaine was found in suitcases. The drugs amount to approximately 39 kilograms.

Military personnel were travelling with the president as protection. In a tweet, President Jair Bolsonaro confirmed he had been briefed on the arrest and called the incident “unacceptable.” He called for an “immediate investigation and severe punishment.”
