Sharjah24 – AFP: Members of the National Anti-Drug Secretariat (SENAD) of Paraguay display bricks of cocaine after 947 kilos of the illegal drug was seized in an operation and the leader of the criminal organisation was detained.
Commenting on this, Francisco Ayala, spokesperson of the National Anti-Drug Secretariat (SENAD) said, "During these interventions, it was possible to arrest the main target, or leader of this organisation, whose last name is Balbuena. Three other people were also arrested, and a cache of more than 900 kilos of cocaine was seized."

Zully Rolon, minister of the National Anti-Drug Secretariat (SENAD) has also pointed out, "As you know, Paraguay does not produce cocaine, and obviously this cocaine has to come from other places where it is produced. Generally, it is taken by air."
