The Wildlife Justice Commission has published a report on the rise and fall of one of Vietnam’s biggest wildlife traffickers. Nguyen Van Nam, referred to in the report as Ah Nam, was the focus of a Wildlife Justice Commission investigation from 2016 until 2019. Ah Nam was arrested in Hanoi on 30 September 2019 in connection with the illegal trade of ivory; on 16 July 2020 he was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Now that the investigation into one of his connections has been concluded, the Wildlife Justice Commission can reveal the full extent of its efforts to bring Ah Nam to justice.
