KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Malaysian specialists say they've seized 23 bits of elephant tusks and 301 kilograms (664 pounds) of pangolin scales accepted to have been snuck from Africa in a pull worth about $1 million.
Traditions senior authority Mohamad Pudzi Man said authorities attacked the Kuala Lumpur airplane terminal load distribution center Sunday and found the ivory in two boxes set apart as "sustenance stuff." He said Wednesday that the ivory, worth 275,000 ringgit ($64,139), was flown in on an Etihad Airways flight from Lagos and traveled in Abu Dhabi before landing in Kuala Lumpur.
He said that later Sunday, authorities appropriated six sacks of pangolin scales worth 3.86 million ringgit ($900,291) soon after it touched base on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Congo.
Mohamad Pudzi said nobody was captured and the case was under scrutiny.
