2 major international traffickers arrested with 250 kg of raw Ivory! The two are in the heart of an international ring with links to several countries. One of them is Ugandan, but the other one is residing in DRC.
They had a meeting arranged with a potential buyer in a private residence, but after the arrival to the place they were stopped by Flying Police Squad with the team of EAGLE Uganda and arrested. They were under an intense investigation for more than one month. They were part of a large chain of criminals, supplying raw ivory to Chinese traffickers.
Besides ivory, a sash of US$ 400, 25,000 of Uganda shillings and 5,000 of Congolese Francs and a driving permit from the Democratic Republic of Congo were found with them.
