Unmarked Gulfstream II crash in Belize
Are Gulfstreams designed to operate from gravel strips?
This one broke in two recently in Belize. It's believed to have been registered as N511TL, but was exported to Mexico in 2017.

Many years ago a Mexican Gulfstream II landed on the home straight of Mallow Racecourse at Cork after running out of fuel during a diversion from Shannon to Cork. It was more or less undamaged and a month or so later flew out from a temporary tarmac strip laid on the racecourse.

Yes, it was not uncommon for them to cross the Atlantic (uncontrolled of course) and unload in Africa for eventual transport into Europe. I'm not sure if this route is still being used but would not be impossible with old biz jets like this.

Williams said that his officers received intelligence of a plane landing but had deployed to another area of Blue Creek where they thought it would have made its landing
presumably the police officers are somewhat better off financially now or decided that discretion was the better part of valor when it came to investigating what presumably was a drug running operation
