COTE D'IVOIRE: Members of the newly formed Ivorian Unit for Trans-National crime are seen with a recent confiscation of 3,600kgs of Pangolin scales in the car park of their offices. The investigative NGO Eagle worked in co-operation with this new unit to capture an Ivorian Trafficker and his 3 accomplices with over 3 tons of pangolin scales. They recently also arrested a Vietnamese trafficker who was caught with 23 ivory tusks from rare Forest Elephant as well as 600 kgs of Pangolin scales. Together this seizure represents a conservative estimate of over 11,000 pangolins. The Ivorian trafficker received one year of jail time and was out again as of the 1st of August, the Vietnamese man is still inside, his phone was full of illegal wildlife trade items. He says he is only in Ivory coast for this trade. Abidjan has a substantial Vietnamese and Chinese population. The house where he was arrested also contained weapons and drugs belonging to a Chinese man, he was also implicated in human trafficking of Ivorian women to China.
