In a new chapter of the war against drug trafficking in the border region between Paraguay and Brazil, three men were executed Saturday night in the Paraguayan town of Zanja Pytã, a border with the district of Sanga Puitã, in Ponta Porã, in Mato Grosso do Sul. A few hours after the crime, two heavily armed suspects were arrested.
The border between Brazil and Paraguay, in the southern region of Mato Grosso do Sul, has always been marked by executions, shootings, drug trafficking and weapons. The site is one of the main gates of narcotics and heavy weapons in the country.
The violent characteristics of the region have acquired a warlike appearance in recent years with the dispute over the control of the site between criminal factions. June 2016 marks the intensification of this war with the death of Jorge Rafaat, dubbed "the king of the border". The G1 gave an overview of this conflict, which in 2018 alone claimed 30 lives.

Zorrilla, who would be the main target of the shooters, would always have taken a rifle to try to defend himself, but could not and eventually died with the two Brazilians. Police in the neighboring country are investigating whether Paraguay would be a member of the group of Brazilian trafficker Jarvis Pavão.

In the neighboring country, he has been sentenced to eight years in prison since 2009 for drug trafficking and money laundering. In Brazil, he is serving a sentence of 17 years and 8 months in prison in the federal prison Mossoró, Rio Grande, also for drug trafficking and money laundering.
Hours after the execution in Zanja Pytã, the Paraguayan police arrested two suspects: Nelson Mussi Espinola and Ismael Encizo. According to the authorities of the neighboring country, they reached both through the intelligence services. With the duo, they seized several large weapons, such as a 7.62mm machine gun, a 12-gauge shotgun, tactical vests, boots and several cartridges.
