Article and picture caption say...:
On that date Russian Embassy officials found 850 pounds of cocaine stashed in 16 pieces of luggage and alerted Argentine police....

I say...:
On that date Russian ambassadeur and good tovarich..., Mr. Виктор Викторович Коронелли picked the phone..., called Mme. Bullrich and said textually...:
We two have to talk in private..., NOW...
26 minutes later..., they were...
The rest is history...

What happened to the other four pieces of luggage and their contents?

TV,

Mr Think seems to have good inside knowledge of the Russian Embassy in BA.

Perhaps that's his real abode in Argentina?

Kanye,

Think claims to have good knowledge of many things but often it just needs a quick google search to check, and often disprove, his claims. Виктор Викторович Коронелли is Viktor Koronelli and Think is repeating (with some probably unverifiable embellishment) what is said here: http://www.thebubble.com/arrests-made-after-400-kilos-of-cocaine-are-found-at-the-russian-embassy/

In this case Think may be correct about Koronelli's phone call but I wouldn't necessarily trust the details about 26 minutes etc.

However, your theory about him living in the Russian Embassy is an interesting one. Does he have a job similar to the much larger effort of the Russians to interfere with US democracy by spreading fake news etc? It could explain a lot. ;-)

This could be a “Regular Practice” rather than an isolated incident.

ALL the Govt. bodies - embassies, consulates, etc - especially those who exercise diplomatic immunity; must be handling cloak, dagger & drugs. NO wonder Brazil too wants a share in the game by trying to extradite a wanted criminal for a “Fair Trial” in Brazil:
