Tanzania convicts ‘Ivory queen’
A Tanzanian court is to sentence a 69-year-old Chinese woman for her role in trafficking tusks from more than 400 elephants, reports AFP.
Yang Fenlan, dubbed the “Ivory Queen”, was convicted in Dar es Salaam of trafficking 860 tusks between 2000 and 2014, according to the news agency.
It says two Tanzanian men were also found guilty for their role in the illegal trade.
The court has not yet announced their sentences, but Fenlan faces up to 30 years in prison, AFP says.
