A young Vietnamese man is currently detained, on charges of trafficking in wildlife resources. He was caught at Maputo international Airport, in possession of a suitcase containing four rhino horns, with an estimated weight of seven kilograms, O País reports.
According to the same source, the suitcase was destined to South Korea, from where it would follow to Vietnam.
The young man denies his involvement in the crime, and says that the suitcase was delivered to him by a stranger who had contacted him via Facebook and promised him 50,000 meticais, claiming that the suitcase was carrying clothes and shoes.
Meanwhile, police say that investigations are still underway and that the detainee will be held accountable.
As a result of police operations last week, young people were arrested for housebreaking, commercial establishments, warehouse diversion and theft of car accessories.
