Uganda, 27 Sep 2016
5 significant traffickers were arrested with 29 kg of ivory, one of them is a pastor. They arrived to the centre of Kampala in a van with an intention to sell 2 tusks, but were arrested by police and EAGLE Uganda team. The van used for the trafficking was seized. It is not uncommon for clergy to be involved in trafficking. Often, criminals use fake pretence of morality to cover illegal activities.
