A trafficker arrested with 328Kg of pangolin scales

A trafficker arrested with 328Kg of pangolin scales! This is a hit on an organized criminal ring attacked already twice in the past years. They are a very closed and careful and Gaspard’s team has taken much effort and international work over time to net this key player of the network - “The Money Man” financing the operations with large cash amounts found in his house search. This seizure, a snapshot of ongoing regular illegal trade of this gang, represents the maximum of around 2,000 killed pangolins. Great work of the EAGLE Côte d’Ivoire team with the UCT special unit and wildlife authorities.
