Abstract:
From December 2009 to April 2010, the defendants Huang Yawen, Chen Song, Cheng Zhiqiang and Fu Qiang were twice employed by Pangma (handed separately) to help NG SOO HEONG (nicknamed "tall guys") smuggle frozen pangolin and scales into China by a wooden fishing vessel "Pearl Bay, 3815". Huang Yawen was responsible for sailing and the other 3 defendants moved the goods. Each of them got paid more than 8000 yuan and several pangolins.
On June 6 2010, NG SOO HEONG, Huang Yawen and other 3 people were arrested by Jiangmen Customs when they were discharging the smuggled items in waters off the Zhuhai Airport. Customs officials seized 2090 frozen pangolins (7850kg) in 30 boxes, and 92 cases of pangolin scales weighing 1,800 kg. The smuggled pangolins and scales were worth nearly 5.2 million yuan (RMB 5,197,040). (Provided by: UNODC SHERLOC)
