A luxury apartment in Rio's Copacabana neighborhood allegedly served as a staging house for cocaine couriers flying out of Brazil, per Latin Times.

The facility was reportedly used by an organized crime group active in drug smuggling operations, with officials linking it to international trafficking networks.

Brazil's security forces are investigating the apartment's connection to broader criminal activities in the region, though no arrests have been confirmed yet, according to Tribune.com.
