One wonders about buyers' psychological profiles...
Anti-smuggling police in Küçükçekmece, Istanbul, got a tip that an
individual had smuggled the horns and teeth of endangered species
into Turkey in violation of the CITES agreement, which prohibits
such trafficking. After a period of surveillance, police raided the
address the day before yesterday.
In a search of the premises, police recovered two complete pairs of
mountain goat horns and one set in small pieces, weighing a total of
6.162 kilograms and worth 4 million TL (about $137.5); 7 antelope
horns; one part of a red deer horn; 23 elephant "items"; numerous
small horn pieces of elephants and mammoths weighing 16.5 kilos;
pieces of whale teeth weighing 650 grams; 14 buffalo horns and pieces
and 7 whale teeth.
The horns and teeth were being processed in a workshop for sale.
One person was taken into custody.
