A fugitive ivory trafficker captured
Congo, 23 Feb 2024
A fugitive ivory trafficker captured. He was wanted in connection to a past arrest operation. The team carried out multiple arrest attempts. Since the trafficker is very well connected with law enforcement, the arrest failed each time as he mysteriously disappeared before being captured. This time, after a year of efforts, he was finally apprehended. He first escaped an operation that took place in January 2023 and a trafficker was arrested with 2 elephant tusks. The trafficker was sentenced in January to 4 years in prison. The fugitive who escaped during that operation shall now face the full force of the law.
