Publication Year:

Abstract:

It was one of Malaysia's most significant rhino horn seizures - 50 whole horns and pieces, declared as lobsters and hidden in the cab of a truck that was stopped not far from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport after a dramatic chase in September 2021. Now the two men in the truck will serve six months in jail after a court found them guilty of illegally keeping the contraband in the country's first trial involving trafficked African rhino horns.
