Brazilian criminals are using Starlink terminals to conduct illegal activities in mining areas in dense regions of the Amazon.
The agents reportedly found “21 ounces of mercury, .5 ounces of gold, 508 ammunition cartridges,” and the organization’s personal documents. As confirmed by AP News, agents also destroyed “848 gallons of fuel, four mining barges, 12 generators, 23 camping and storage units, and seven outboard motors.”
The Starlink terminals are owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX and were intended to connect residents in the remote areas of the Amazon, according to a deal proposed by Musk last year. At the time, he and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro announced by bringing Starlink terminals to the Amazon, it would connect schools to the internet and monitor illegal logging across the rainforest.
