VietNamNet Bridge – HCM City Public Security Department will prosecute two men for allegedly violating regulations protecting rare and endangered wildlife.

Ha Van Nga, 40, will be charged with buying wildlife products without a permit in Ha Tinh Province and selling them.

The other man, Bang Tien Quan, 37, was reported to have been found earlier this month in possession of a tiger skeleton he had bought from Nga.

Based on Quan's confession, police searched three houses owned by Nga in the city's districts 12 and Cu Chi.

They seized six animal skeletons from two freezers, two embalmed tigers, four pairs of elephant tusks, six pairs of gayal (an Indian ox) horns, and nearly 100kg of chamois antelope bones.
