Asuncion, Dec 20 (Prensa Latina) Paraguayan agents seized 379 kilograms of marihuana in the southeastern border region with Argentina, the destination country of the drug, the government reported on Tuesday.

The officers found the cargo at a clandestine port of the southern Itapua department, but the drug traffickers escaped, the National Anti-Drug Secretariat added.

An operation deployed in the region known as Capitan Meza discovered that it was used for the entrance and exit of different types of merchandise in Puerto Leoni, Argentina.

Drug gangs operate in vast Paraguayan regions bordering Argentina and Brazil to take drugs to Europe and the United States through their territories.
