Boa smuggler

A MALAYSIAN man admitted wildlife smuggling after his bag bursting with 95 live boa constrictors broke open on a luggage conveyer belt at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Keng Liang “Anson” Wong, 52, who was previously convicted of trafficking in the US, was charged with exporting the endangered boas without a permit. The offence carries a penalty of up to seven years in prison and a fine.
