An anti-drug operation ordered by the Paraguayan Justice in a hangar in the town of Arrayán, located near Areguá and Luque, caused alarm in the Argentine authorities since they found a helicopter plotted with the inscription of the Ministry of Security of the province of Buenos Aires.
According to Paraguayan media reports, the raid ended with two men arrested and eight other aircraft seized.
As

could confirm
from official sources, the helicopter that was painted with colors and the identification of the Bonarense Ministry of Security corresponds to a ship that
was rented until October 2019 to a private company.
The aerial equipment was used in the Province for Operation Sol for the 2018/2019 summer season and was returned to its owners a year ago.
However, the provincial authorities would have been careless:
they forgot to demand that the rental company remove the identification
.
"In those cases, the owner or the one who rents is in charge of taking out the plots," they explained in the ministry.
In addition, near the office of Minister Sergio Berni confirmed that "a few hours ago they contacted the Public Ministry of Paraguay to request information."
They find a helicopter plotted with the Buenos Aires Ministry of Security in a hangar in Paraguay.
From the legal area of the Argentine organization they sent him all the information: the contract, the operation numbers and the registration of the transport vehicle (LV-GWK) that the Province rented last year.
The device seized in an anti-drug operation and two similar ones were used last season for the transfer of agents and for custody in the cities of the coast of Buenos Aires.
They were three Robinson R-44s that were temporarily transferred by a specialized company, explained in Security.
The investigation of the cause for drug trafficking that ended in the discovery of these aircraft is in charge of prosecutors Alicia Sapriza and Marcelo Pecci.
As reported today by the newspaper
La Nación
de Paraguay, the investigation is part of operations already opened by the Specialized Unit for Organized Crime and once the intervention is finished, details of what was found will be provided.
For now, it is known that there were two people who were involved in the crime.
