Madagascar, 25 Nov 2016
3 traffickers arrested with 9 Radiated Tortoises, one of them a corrupt policeman. A general tried to use his influence to release him, but this was combated by the ALARM legal team. The other trafficker worked as a consultant for the Ministry of International Affairs. The traffickers brought the animals in a bag to a hotel in the centre of the capital city with intention to sell them for an international market, but were arrested in act instead.
