Uganda is seeking to arrest 18 Vietnamese nationals over the smuggling of 750 ivory pieces and thousands of pangolin scales seized last week, the nation’s tax agency said.
The Uganda Revenue Authority said it has a reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspects, whose photographs were published in the New Vision newspaper on Friday. Two nationals of the southeast Asian country were arrested when the contraband cargo was intercepted on Jan. 31, according to the agency.
