Kenya fines Chinese national for live-ant trafficking, 12-month jail
A Kenyan court sentenced Chinese national Zhang Kequn to 1 million shillings in fines and a 12-month jail term after he was caught attempting to smuggle more than 2,200 live garden ants at Nairobi’s airport; the case, part of a crackdown on ant trafficking linked to demand for formicariums in China, also involves co-defendant Charles Mwangi who is charged but not yet tried.
