2 traffickers arrested with more than 400 ivory pieces
Congo, 2 Oct 2018
Great arrest of two DRC traffickers that crossed the Congo river only to be caught by the PALF team with the Gendarmery. 7 big ivory statues, 3 raw ivory pieces, 260 chopsticks(!), 4 necklaces and more 111 other curved Ivory items. Also seized 3 leopard skins. A big seizure and an excellent operation with good abilities from PALF also showing the ramped unchecked illegal trade in Kinshasa.
