The journey of São Paulo through Bolivia to face Bolívar in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana was wrapped in a situation as unusual as it was foreign to the team: the Police found more than 86 kilos of marijuana hidden inside the bus that had been hired to transport the delegation during their stay in the country. The vehicle had club markings and two of its drivers were arrested, although the Brazilian institution clarified that it never ended up using it.
The operation took place this Tuesday in the region of Locotal, in the department of Cochabamba. Agents from the Mobile Rural Patrol Unit (Umopar) inspected the vehicle and found four hidden bags inside. After the corresponding analyses, the authorities confirmed that they contained 86.55 kilos of marijuana.
