LONDON: A seafood salesman was found guilty Friday of smuggling an estimated 5.3 million critically-endangered baby eels from Europe to East Asia via Britain.

Khoo imported elvers from European countries, held them at a farm in Gloucestershire, southwest England, then repackaged and labelled them as"chilled fish" to be sent onwards to East Asia. "The entire operation run by Khoo to trade in these critically-endangered animals was illegal from start to finish, and there is no doubt his sole motivation was money," said NCA senior investigating officer Ian Truby.
