Résumé
In November 2004, the defendant Angweng Barong bought a rhino horn from an Indian businessman for 55000 India Rupees. Afterward, he wrapped the rhino horn in white cloth in the secret compartment of a small wooden cabinet (old Tibetan cabinet) and then he paid a local carpenter to board up the cabinet. On December 9, 2014, Angweng Barong took a minivan going to Zhangmu town with the wooden cabinet and other goods and promised to pay the driver 2500 NepalRupee. The minivan was seized during a routine customs inspection, and the 1.076kg rhino horn was found by the customs officers. The seized rhino horn would have fetched 269, 000 RMB on local black market.
