<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. Further Forensic and post-mortem details are awaited to understand the reason for the crash.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/cocaine-ketamine-xanax-valium-found-in-shrimps-tested-in-england-s-waterways-1754978820750">Cocaine, ketamine, xanax, valium found in shrimps tested in England's waterways</a>
