Overview
- Agents intercepted 17 kilograms of marijuana at Ezeiza during screening of flight AR1141 from Rome, identifying the carrier as Colombian national Jhon Crismatc Ocampo Peláez.
- Hours later at the Bernardo de Irigoyen crossing in Misiones, officers found 188 bricks totaling 112 kilograms concealed in a gray Chevrolet’s trunk and under seats.
- Two men tied to the Misiones vehicle were detained after documentation inconsistencies prompted a judicially authorized search involving the Northeast Narcotics Investigations Division.
- Records showed the Chevrolet had an active seizure order for robbery dated November 11, 2025, which was documented for the case file.
- Both cases were transferred to federal judicial authorities, with Aduana highlighting inter-agency coordination and technology as central to stopping the drugs from entering circulation.
