The two owners of a roast chicken restaurant in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, where a police raid found large amounts of jaguar fangs and fur, are not Chinese citizens, said the Chinese Consulate-General in Santa Cruz.
According to Chinanews.com, the police raid on February 23 made national headlines in Bolivia and prompted an investigation by the Chinese Consulate-General. It found that the two people who were holding the animal parts illegally originated from China, but have given up their Chinese citizenship and become Bolivian citizens. Media reports point to a rise in jaguar parts smuggling linked to the increasing presence of Chinese businesses and construction projects in South America. It is illegal to kill or trade jaguars cross in Bolivia.
