In the Astrakhan region, two men were suspected of trading parts of saigas

En el distrito de Akhtuba de la región de Astrakhan, dos residentes locales fueron acusados en un caso penal por el tráfico ilegal de partes de animales silvestres especialmente valiosos. Según investigadores, los hombres transportaron y almacenaron partes de saigas para su posterior venta.

According to the regional investigation department of the Investigative Committee of Russia, the suspects acted as a group of persons on preliminary conspiracy.

According to the investigation, the men organized the transportation of parts of saigas, after which they placed them in an outbuilding on the territory of a private household in the village of Uspenka, Akhtubinsky district. It is assumed that in the future they intended to sell illegally stored products.
