Tribunal Overturns DRI Order Confiscating Shark Fins

A tribunal has overturned a previous decision that seized a large amount of shark fins.

Back in 2019, authorities confiscated over 8000 kg of shark fins from a trading firm, claiming they were going to be illegally exported.

The company was also fined.

However, the tribunal reviewed the case and found no proof that the company intended to export the fins.

The company argued that statements they made earlier were obtained under duress.

Therefore, the tribunal decided that the fins should not have been confiscated, and the fine was removed.
