You're listening to Bill Handel, on demand from KFI, AM 640.

KFI.

Saturday morning, Bill Handel here with the legal show and the phone number as we start our number two, 800 520-1534.

800-520-1534. And top of the hour, lines are open and please feel free. If you would like me to answer a question and give you some of my vast and vast knowledge of law, which is a mile wide and probably about a quarter inch deep.

800 5201534.

That's the number.

Lines are open.

Welcome to handle on the law, marginal legal advice, where I tell you you have absolutely no case.

Now, normally I don't talk about foreign people being arrested in foreign areas or foreign jurisdictions. But this one I had to

report to you because this one is just too much fun. There's a Chinese national who was arrested

in Kenya's main airport.

And the accusation, what he was attempted, that he was attempting to smuggle, so he's a smuggler,

more than 2,000 queen garden ants out of Kenya going into China.

Now, this gets a little bit weird as you go in there.

So Zhang Kekwon is his name, was intercepted during a security check at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

And that's Nairobi, Kenya, the capital.

And as they're looking through his luggage, there there were this large consignment of live ants in his luggage.

The investigator said in court that he was linked to an ant trafficking network that was broken up in Kenya last year. Bet you didn't know there was such thing as an ant trafficking network, did you?

Now, why is that a crime?

Because these ants are protected by the international biodiversity treaties, and their trade is highly regulated.

There is a market for these ants, queen garden ants.

Wow.
