Accused African wildlife trafficker faces U.S. trial
The United States on Friday targeted an alleged Malaysian wildlife trafficker and what officials called his transnational criminal organization for financial sanctions related to the illegal shipment of rhino horn, ivory and other specimens.
The Treasury Department said Malaysian national Teo Boon Ching, 57, and his alleged trafficking organization engage in the “cruel trafficking of endangered and threatened wildlife and the products of brutal poaching.”
