An ivory trafficker arrested with 1,081 pieces
Senegal, 3 Jun 2016
An ivory trafficker arrested with 789 ivory bracelets, 268 elephant hair bracelets, 12 lion nails, giraffe's tail bracelets and others.
Total of 1081 illegal items. This is a crackdown led by Cecile Bloch on high level trafficking and a on sort of a factory reducing elephants to ornaments...
Cecile is assisted by Serge, head of investigations of LAGA that came from Cameroon, as SALF is fighting to hold this case in spite of difficulties with the local wildlife authorities and corruption attempts.
If you look very well in the picture you will see that the trafficker is not happy to be handcuffed...
