A turtle trafficker arrested

A reptile trafficker arrested in the act with 31 freshwater turtles and one tortoise near a market, where he intended to sell them. He was offering his services as a window dresser of clothes, perfumes and cosmetics, but he only used this activity to cover his criminal activity and to find potential buyers. He had worked with an extensive network of traffickers providing him with a supply of protected animals, which he was selling mostly to Chinese, who consider turtles to be a delicacy. He had been trafficking turtles for many years.
