Multi-Million Togrog Seizure in Illegal Marmot Smuggling

37,332 marmot skins, worth an estimated Tg265 million, have been confiscated from the Chinese national Tergoonsod and the Mongolians Ts.Narantuya and D.Myagmarsuren. The three were trying to smuggle the skins across a state border when inspectors from the Nature and Environment Inspection Department of The Staete Specialized Inspection Agency caught them.
This was the second serious violation of its kind in recent months. A similar haul of marmot skins was recovered in September. (For more, please read The Mongol Messenger's issue No42)
