Uganda, 26 Jun 2017
2 traffickers arrested in the capital city with 6 tusks and a pack of blank bills papers used to print counterfeit money. One of them is a priest, the other one is a lawyer. The priest was already prosecuted for ivory trafficking in 2012, but being sentenced only to pay a fine, he continued his criminal activity including dealing with fake money. Now both of them remain behind bars, awaiting trial. Investigations continues on a number of passports that were found in their possession.
