A shocking aircraft crash on Brazil’s tropical coastline has exposed one of the most audacious drug smuggling operations in recent memory. The plane, carrying 180 kilograms of cocaine disguised as space technology, went down in a remote sugarcane field near Coruripe, leaving the Australian pilot dead beside the wreckage. Local reports and federal police investigations now suggest a far-reaching global drug network that masks narcotics shipments with high-tech branding, raising alarms across continents.
