MOST WANTED ENVIRONMENTAL FUGITIVE LIST NETS MAJOR IVORY SMUGGLING SUSPECT! A few weeks ago we posted that Interpol, the international police force, had published a list of environmental fugitives wanted by the agency. The appeal to the public has netted its first suspect - Ben Simasiku, a 31-year-old suspected ivory smuggler - in Zambia. Botswana’s authorities reportedly recovered recovered live ammunition, 34 ivory tusks, four axes, four elephant tails, 12 bags of assorted game meat and a digital weighing scale at the scene. Stefano Carvelli, Interpol spokesman, noted that “Since we launched our global public appeal for information, Interpol has received many tips regarding the fugitives sought. The arrest of Ben Simasiku highlights the important role the public can play in helping police locate them. We encourage people worldwide to remain vigilant and to assist in bringing the remaining fugitives to justice.” In this age of crowdsourcing, enlisting the aid of the public makes good sense. We hope that many more arrests will follow! Follow the link below to learn more - tinyurl/ndetmq7 Steve McNallen Forever Elephants
