Any details of Global Express 9H-FED
ASN reports the aircraft was stolen from SVVA Valencia Venezuela - operator Hyperion Aviation of Malta - website down, email incorrect.
Just wondering if anyone has any details on owner/operator or whereabouts of the aircraft.
Last big incident out of this area was the Air Luxor Citation X
Air Luxor Crew arrested in CCS [Archive] - PPRuNe Forums

9H-FED
It is not yet confirmed, but apparently the aircraft was legally flown from SVVA to SVMI. However, the news regarding the theft have "disappeared" from the local news.

apparently not stolen
The aircraft departed in the middle of the night, when the airport was closed. They had arrived a few hours before and did a fuel uplift of 19000 LTR.
Maybe not stolen.

The contents of the article in spanish, translated by Google...
In a joint operation of the Senior Police and Civil Guard alerted by Interpol, this Sunday intercepted a private jet on a runway Gando Airport in Gran Canaria, suspecting that it might carry a large stash of cocaine boxes of humanitarian aid Red Cross.
The troops that participated in the operation at the airport in Gran Canaria on Sunday did not know the amount of drug that could carry the aircraft, although several sources said they found boxes in the hold of Red Cross humanitarian aid of 50 kilos each. According to investigative sources the plane came from Palm Beach International Airport in Miami, bound for an airport in Germany. The only occupants of the aircraft, a pilot, copilot and a flight attendant were held immediately after landing in Gran Canaria and are waiting for the police court and the Attorney Telde Las Palmas warehouse inspect the appliance and the load . The pilot of the plane is a Colombian national, while the rest of the cabin crew is German.

Thanks for updates - I had heard it had landed at Gran Canaria but wasn't sure what happened. I'm 'assuming' the crew was Hyperions own crew - wonder if the Captain (stated to be a Colombian National) pulled this off on his own??
Funny that a aircraft with the registration 9H-'FED' lands in Florida with a load of Cocaine - with a Colombian pilot.(allegedly)!

This just does not make any sense at all...why the hell they goes to an international and big&busy airport such as LPA, with full authorities at an 24H basis, carrying drugs, keeping the same registration(not even painted a new bogus one), instead of per example, went to a remote airstrip lost in the middle of Sahara or other african hidden place...i think the XRS could do it...It was the case as if "they were simple asking to get caught" by the law, just my 2 cents...Weird

Said aircraft is detained in Gran Canaria Airport under suspicion of transporting drugs. It took off from SVVA with a flight plan to Tenerife, but did so before SVVA was open for operations. Several people detained. More information later.

A private plane intercepted by Spanish police at the airport on the island of Gran Canaria, after a notice to Interpol Venezuela, carrying more than one ton of cocaine disguised as humanitarian aid, Efe confirmed judicial sources.
The aircraft, with registration 9H-FED, Malta, was intercepted on Sunday and inspected yesterday under court supervision. In the log bales of cocaine were found wrapped in packaging with the emblems of an international humanitarian organization.
Three crew members, whose identities and nationalities were not made public, were arrested for the crime of drug trafficking.
The sources consulted by Efe have been unable to determine the weight of the contraband involved, but have insisted that over 1,000 kilos, an amount more than double the 400 kilos of cocaine seized in April on the island of La Graciosa, one of operations against major drug trafficking in recent years made in the Spanish archipelago of the Canaries.
The monitoring of the aircraft was launched at dawn on Saturday to Sunday, when the Venezuelan government Interpol warned that a reactor had left without permission of the Arturo Michelena Airport in Valencia (Midwest).

I've read quite a bit in Venezuelan news casts and posts, here is the unofficial version;
Aircraft landed in Valencia at 23:00 Saturday local time - dropped off one female passenger (who may have flown to Spain commercially on Sunday)
Crew of three - Two German pilots, and an Austrian flight attendant remained with the aircraft. Airport closed for the night at 24:00.
Aircraft filed a flight plan to Brazil - however the aircraft departed at 02:26 Sunday morning without lights, and without authorization.
Instead of heading for Brazil the aircraft went to Florida - when it left Venezuelan airspace at 03:41 it triggered Venezuelan National Security Defense warning.
Authorities learned the intended destination was Benin in West Africa - by 08:00 an Interpol Red Notice had been issued internationally for the aircraft and crew - which were detained at Gran Canaries at 17:20 local time Sunday.
A total of 28 persons are said to be of interest to investigators in Venezuela - the passenger who was dropped off is said to be a Venezuelan citizen - female who boarded a commercial flight to Spain on Sunday and is now being sought.
Venezuelan authorities have opened an investigation to determine "the alleged responsibility of the persons and authorities that may be complicit with the takeoff without authorization of the aircraft."

How could be possible that the intermediate airport between Venezuela and Canarias was in USA, (maybe the biggest country in the planet regarding security measures), after it was already well known about its model, registration, in world wide aviation foruns, boards, etc, and nothing was done there???
And does the XRS cannot fly direct from Southern Florida to Benim?
This keeps not doing any sense at all...

Captain is Colombian, F/O and F/A German. Drug money is an easy one to get, there are many options out there but you have to be really dumb to get it. When you read the news you see that they even use submarines to smuggle drugs into USA.
On the other hand no one leaves Venezuela without a clear order from the TOP, and that top is really corrupted.

STOP
Good evening
We should stop spreading wrong rumors until the facts are on the table (by offical sources).
At the moment we don't know the whole story behind the scenery and it is not fair to convict the crew/company 
Cheers!

Haubennotabwurf, you know you're posting on a rumour network, right?
I think these guys got scuppered by departing supposedly "under the radar" but actually in primary radar coverage... Crime works best when it looks completely normal.
