Abstract:

State prosecutor Simba Nduana yesterday told one of the Chinese men standing trial in Namibia’s largest rhino-horn-smuggling case that he and one of his co-accused had concocted a “cock and goose” story for the court that was filled with inconsistencies. Li Xiaoliang was cross-examined in the Windhoek Regional Court as the trial of Xiaoliang and his co-accused, Li Zinbing, Pu Xuexin and Wang Hui, continued. They were arrested in March 2014 at Hosea Kutako International Airport for allegedly trying to smuggle 14 rhino horns worth more than N$2.3 million, and a leopard skin worth N$500 000, out of Namibia.
