Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Chabane Assuba, a Mozambican poacher, was sentenced to 30 years in prison Thursday after he was convicted of committing crimes against animals protected by law, Mozambique\u2019s national Radio Mozambique reported.<\/p>\n

Assuba, the defendant, was accused of slaughtering at least 42 lions, 20 elephants and four rhinos, and was found in possession of the pieces of the animals in December 2022 in the city of Maputo, the country\u2019s capital, and intended to sell the products to citizens of Asian origin, the report quoted a court verdict of the Maputo City Judicial Court as saying.<\/p>\n

A search was then carried out at the defendant\u2019s residence, where more than 600 kg of products of the banned species were seized, said Judge Evandra Uamusse from the Tenth Criminal Section of the Court, quoted by the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey correspond to the pieces of prohibited species found in the defendant\u2019s house, including 14 lion skulls, 128 bundles of lion tails, 88 lion claws, 57 kg of lion bones divided into three bags, 55 pieces of ivory tusks, 74 elephant bones, and 24 lion jaws,\u201d said Uamusse, when reading the sentence.<\/p>\n

The panel of judges of the Maputo City Judicial Court also imposed a fine on Assuba for the crimes of money laundering, holding prohibited species, and slaughtering prohibited animals.<\/p>\n
