Overview

  • Farm staff found the small aircraft on Thursday in a rural field near Curupaity, San Cristóbal department, and alerted local police.
  • The case shifted from a provincial inquiry to federal jurisdiction, with Gendarmería assuming custody and forensic teams conducting on-site examinations.
  • Investigators are extracting GPS data from the plane and have requested radar logs to reconstruct its route and origin.
  • No arrests have been reported, and authorities suspect the cargo was removed before security forces arrived.
  • The discovery fits a pattern of recent light-aircraft landings tied to drug trafficking in Santa Fe, including a Nov. 11 Arequito case where cocaine was seized.
