On 4 August, Brazilian police discovered 1.3 tonnes of cocaine on board a Gulfstream IV private jet (registration TC-GVA) belonging to the Turkish company ACM Holding, which was rented by a Spanish national. The aircraft was departing from Fortaleza to Brussels Airport.

The aircraft flew from Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) to Malaga (Spain) on Monday 2 August, and in the same evening to Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International airport in Brazil. The Turkish jet was a former plane belonging to the Turkish Prime Ministry under the TC-ATA registration.

Brazilian police had been tipped off that the plane would have cocaine on board when it would leave Fortaleza. Officers at Fortaleza Airport asked the lone passenger to open his suitcase. It was full of cocaine. And it turned out that there were even more suitcases with white powder on board.
