Suspek bawa barangan disyaki hidupan liar tanpa kebenaran berdasarkan pemeriksaan bagasi di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Pulau Pinang.
A Malaysian man of Indonesian nationality was caught attempting to smuggle 45 live rhino horns from Guangzhou, China, after arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport via China Southern Airlines, according to the Border and Wildlife Protection Agency (AKPS) in Bayan Lepas, Malaysia. The 57-year-old suspect was arrested upon landing before being questioned by authorities.
The investigation revealed that the suspect was carrying the horns without proper documentation, which constitutes an offense under Section 68(1)(b) of the Customs Act 1967, as stated in today's statement by Zuhair Jamaludin, the commander of the AKPS at LTAPP. All 45 rhino horns, valued at RM5,000, were confiscated and handed over to the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) for further action.
The agency plans to continue its efforts with high commitment and strengthen cooperation among all agencies to combat cross-border crime.
