In the course of a combined operation conducted by the Colombian Navy and the Brazilian Federal Police on the Rio Negro, near the municipality of Moura in Brazil, it was possible to arrest three men, two of Colombian nationality and one Brazilian, who were transporting 1,121 kilograms of creepy marijuana, which would cost approximately $ 2,500 million Colombian pesos.
These individuals were traveling from Colombian territory in boat on the Caquetá River heading to the strategic point of La Pedrera -Amazonas, where the border with Brazil begins, in order to take the route of the Rio Negro. The Brazilian authorities, thanks to information provided by Colombian Navy Intelligence given to the Specialized Intelligence Agencies of Brazil, intercepted the boat in the sector of Pueblo de Moura - Brasil, in order to carry out an inspection, finding the marijuana hidden in a double-bottomed structure inside.
Additionally, Colombian Navy intelligence established that the Brazilian mafias known as Familia del Norte and Comando Vermelho are illicitly linked to the Residual Organized Armed Group, GAO-r, Carolina Ramírez, in order to guard narcotics during their transit through Colombian territory, preventing other drug trafficking structures from stealing them in border areas with Brazil.
With these arrests and the sale of narcotics, the international authorities report destabilizing the finances of the transnational drug trafficking structures and the Residual Organized Armed Group GAO-r Carolina Ramírez, preventing the commercialization of more than 56 thousand doses of marijuana in the modality of microtrafficking in Brazil.
