Police officers of DRACCO (Department of Repression of Corruption and Organized Crime) seized a Beechcraft Baron 58 aircraft (reg. PT-OCR, C/N: TH-1122) in a forested area in the Paiaguás region of the Pantanal, Southern Mato Grosso after it was possibly forced down by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). Delegate holder of Dracco, Ana Cláudia Medina, reported that the action occurred last week, under Operation Horus, but was only just reported on publicly. The aircraft has been wanted since early 2020 due to suspicion of being used in drug trafficking operations but was not located until now.
