A pilot in the Bolivian Air Force has been arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle more than $1m (?660,000) worth of cocaine into Brazil. The Bolivian government told news media that Jimmy Jos Urzagasti was apprehended with an estimated 400kg of cocaine 'paste' by Bolivian authorities in the Inquisivi province of the country while preparing to fly the drugs into Brazil in a small plane.

Urzagasti was paraded in front of local and international media at a news conference in La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia. Minister of Government Carlos Romero confirmed that the pilot had been detained by anti-drug authorities on suspicion of transporting the Class A narcotic. Urzagasti was accompanied by armed police as he was presented to reporters.
