<h2>What are the investigators looking at?</h2>Authorities have observed that the flight had extra fuel left in its tank. This could suggest that it was flying from a long distance. But they have yet to understand the origin and destination of the flight. Without it, it's not possible to trace the network or chain of custody.The case is under investigation with the local administration. The seized cocaine is expected to cost nearly $300,000, according to its street value. This is a large quantity to be a local drop and hints at a larger operation. The authorities are also trying to understand if the pilot was knowingly involved in drug trafficking or was unwittingly transporting it. The flight was registered under Zambia, a country in Africa, which hints at the possibility of illegitimate ownership. The Federal police is looking into the ownership of the craft and how long it has been operational in Brazil.

Sharing a post on X, Governor Wilson Lima said, "Our teams have been on the ground responding since the moment of the crash to provide the necessary support."

Brazil: 14 killed in plane crash in Amazonas state

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Teori Zavascki was killed in a plane crash on Thursday, raising questions about who will take over his investigation into dozens of politicians in the country&#39;s biggest ever corruption scandal.

Rescuers found three bodies in the wreckage of the small, twin-prop plane that crashed off the coast of Rio de Janeiro state amid heavy rains, firefighters said.

Zavascki, 68, had in recent weeks been reviewing explosive testimony from executives at engineering group Odebrecht, expected to implicate hundreds of politicians in a scandal involving kickbacks on contracts at state-run enterprises.

The dual-propeller Hawker Beechcraft C90GT carrying Zavascki left a Sao Paulo airport around 1 pm&nbsp;(1500 GMT). It crashed into the sea about 80 minutes later near its destination in the tourist town of Paraty, according to air force and civil aviation authorities.

The plane belonged to luxury hotel group Emiliano, according to civil aviation authority ANAC. No information was provided on the identity of others killed in the crash.

Condolences poured in from federal prosecutors and senior politicians, including some named in the sweeping graft probe - known as Operation Car Wash - that has shaken Brazil&#39;s political establishment over the past three years.

Crusading anti-graft Judge Sergio Moro, who has spearheaded the graft investigation at the grassroots level for nearly three years, said in an emailed statement that he &quot;was stunned&quot; by Zavascki&#39;s death, whom he called a &quot;Brazilian hero.&quot;

&quot;Without him, there would be no Operation Car Wash,&quot; Moro wrote. &quot;I hope that his legacy, of serenity, seriousness and firmness in enforcing the law, regardless of the interests of those involved, even the powerful, will not be forgotten.

The investigation, involving at least 6.4 billion reais ($2.0 billion) in bribes for contracts with state-run enterprises, has led to the jailing of dozens of senior executives and threatens to batter the ruling coalition of President Michel Temer.

Under Supreme Court rules, Zavascki&#39;s case load would normally fall to the justice named by Temer to replace him, but an exception can be made for urgent matters, according to a court representative.

Carlos Pereira, a professor of public administration at the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Rio de Janeiro and a leading expert on corruption, said Zavascki&#39;s death was a serious blow but he was confident it would not derail the graft investigation.

&quot;The death of Teori is unquestionably a stress test for Brazilian institutions, but there is no question that President Temer will be under tremendous pressure to nominate a replacement who has absolutely no hint of wanting to slow or halt the Car Wash investigation,&quot; Pereira said.

Pereira said that close attention from judges, prosecutors, police and Brazilian civil society would safeguard the case.

&quot;If there is any sign that anyone would use Teori&#39;s death in an opportunistic manner to put up obstacles ... I have no doubt they will be severely punished by many sectors of society,&quot; Pereira said.

Brazil Supreme Court judge killed in plane crash

In&nbsp;driving rain, the small Brazilian city of Chapeco held a massive funeral on Saturday for its football team, tragically wiped out in a plane crash in Colombia.

The bodies of 50 players, coaches and staff from the Chapecoense Real club were taken on a funeral procession from the airport to Conda Arena, the stadium where just 10 days ago the team were thrilling their fans.

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqquoteclosemark">&times;</a></div>
</div>
</div>

Draped in the club&#39;s green and white flag, the coffins slowly wound their way through the city, as family and fans braved the weather to watch with a mix of sobs and cheers.

Soldiers unloaded the coffins onto the pitch when they arrived at the packed stadium, where the city was expecting a crowd of some 100,000 people, half its population.

The unsung club was having a fairytale season until the charter plane flying it to the biggest match in its history ran out of fuel and slammed into the mountains outside Medellin on Monday night, killing 71 people.

There was imposing silence at the stadium as the funeral cortege arrived, broken only by cheers of &quot;Champions!&quot; whenever the screens showed images of the procession.

Soaking wet from the rain, his eyes red from crying, mechanic Rui Alonso Thomas watched the procession with his 10-year-old daughter, who was draped in the Chapecoense banner.

&quot;We would have been here rain or shine. Our dream was finally becoming reality. It was so close. There&#39;s just no explaining it,&quot; he said, choking back tears.

&quot;Chapeco will take a long time to get over this. But I plan to keep coming to the stadium.&quot;

&quot;Chapecoense is in our hearts. It&#39;s our family,&quot; said Patricia Carraro, a 32-year-old cashier.

Earlier, fireworks lit up the sky over the stadium as two Brazilian Air Force planes transporting the team&#39;s coffins touched down at the southern city&#39;s airport.

The arrival was delayed by an outpouring of emotion at a refuelling stop along the way, when locals in the Amazon city of Manaus flocked to the airport to pay tribute to the crash victims.

Brazilian President Michel Temer met the planes upon arrival and attended the memorial alongside the coach of the Brazilian national team, Tite, and FIFA chief Gianni Infantino.The crash has left the football world in mourning.

A minute&#39;s silence for the team will be held before every Champions League and Europa League game next week.

In Brazil, other clubs have offered Chapecoense players so it can continue to compete.

Chapecoense had been on their way to Medellin for the finals of the Copa Sudamericana, South America&#39;s second-biggest club tournament.

Inside their stadium, a single set of goal posts remains -- the one star goalkeeper Marcos Danilo Padilha, 31, defended in the semi-final match with a heroic last-minute save that sealed Chapecoense&#39;s trip to the finals.

&quot;It&#39;s very sad remembering not only that stop (against Argentina&#39;s San Lorenzo), but also... him running across the grass with his arms wide open. My son was all passion,&quot; said the goalkeeper&#39;s mother, Ilaide Padilha.

The stadium has capacity for 19,000 people, so two giant screens were set up outside for the overflow crowd.

Tents were put up on the pitch for some 2,000 family members and close friends of the team.&nbsp;The other plane crash victims, Brazilians, Bolivians, a Paraguayan and a Venezuelan, &nbsp;were flown home Thursday and Friday.

Six people miraculously survived the crash, though some with major injuries.&nbsp;One surviving crew member, Erwin Tumiri, was flown home Saturday to Bolivia and was taken in a wheelchair for medical checks.

Authorities are still investigating the crash.&nbsp;Colombia&#39;s civil aviation safety chief said the crew of the British Aerospace 146 jet had disregarded international rules on fuel reserves.

The Bolivia-based charter company, LAMIA, had its permit suspended Thursday.
