Recovering a Drug Plane in Cartel Country | Pirates Inc

A routine aircraft recovery quickly turns into one of the most dangerous missions Pirates Inc. has ever faced.
When a $2 million Piaggio aircraft is seized after its pilot is arrested in Belize, Tony and his elite recovery team are hired to retrieve it before it's lost forever. But the paperwork needed to release the plane has vanished—and the only person who knows where it is sits behind bars.
What follows is a high-risk operation deep inside cartel-controlled territory, where hidden drug labs, armed gangs, and a missing bag containing $20,000 in cash and critical aircraft documents threaten to derail the entire mission. After surviving the jungle, the team finally locates the aircraft… only to discover it has been completely stripped for parts.
With the owner abandoning the deal, Pirates Inc. gambles everything on rebuilding the aircraft from scratch. Against all odds, the team transforms a wreck into a valuable asset in one of the most remarkable recovery missions they've ever completed.
If you love real-life cartel operations, aircraft recoveries, high-risk missions and incredible restorations, this episode delivers every twist imaginable.

During this Bust/raid, the pilot stashed this bag in the middle of the jungle.
Did he stash this bag before going to this party, or this party was in the jungle?
So the Cartel was watching this bag of $20k and paperwork for the plane, why did the Cartel just didnt get the bag?
This does sound staged, cause none of this makes sense .
