A ring of ivory traffickers crushed

6 significant ivory traffickers arrested with a tusk weighting more than 10 kg. The ring of traffickers of various nationalities including Guinea, Democratic Republic of Congo and Mali with connections to other countries was crushed in a well organized series of arrests. First the three Malian members were arrested in the act when trying to sell the ivory. They soon denunciated their Guinea accomplice, who was arrested the same day. Two remaining gang members were arrested the next day after they were also denunciated by their accomplices. The ring had several tentacles, well covering a large area of operation. One member operated in Angola, another in Point-Noire, and several of them organized trafficking the ivory between Congo and DRC, from where the ivory originated.
