During a control operation in Paraguay, authorities found over 260 kilograms of cannabis in an aircraft owned by Estonian businessman Keith Siilats, according to the Paraguayan newspaper Ultima Hora.

The volume of the seizure points to possible organized drug trafficking — 260 kilograms of cannabis is a significant quantity that clearly exceeds the threshold for personal use. Paraguay has a long-standing reputation as one of South America's largest cannabis-producing nations.

The involvement of an Estonian businessman in such an incident abroad raises questions both about the individual's background and the intended use of the aircraft. Estonian authorities have not yet made public statements regarding the case.
