This is one of nine airframes seized the 8th of October 2020 by the Paraguayan Police after an operation against drug trafficking . The other ones being ZP-BIX, ZP-BQF, ZP-BEH, ZP-TZN, ZP-JTU, ZP-TZZ, ZP-BMM and, surprisingly, a helicopter from the Buenos Aires Police that, according to the authorities, didn't have permission to be at Paraguay . Research by the authorities lead to dismantle a private airfield in Areguá as this was the departure location of a burnt aircraft found at El Chaco one week before. The pilot was found buried and riddled with bullets near the plane whose payload had been previously removed (presumably 450Kg of cocaine).
