Brazil’s Federal Police, in a joint operation with the Brazilian Air Force and Navy, seized a semi-submersible vessel in the Marajó Island region of Pará state. It was allegedly intended to transport cocaine to Europe.
The operation included the Federal Police’s Tactical Operations Command, a unit specializing in high-risk missions. An Air Force helicopter provided air support, while a Navy vessel provided maritime support.
The operation followed investigations connected to the seizure of a similar vessel in Portuguese waters in March 2025. Investigators found that both vessels were built in the same part of Pará state to enable transatlantic drug trafficking.
