Nikornadmitted to being hired to pass the horn from the airport to one Bach Van Hoa, a relative of Boonchai, at a nearby apartment, leading to the arrest of Nikorn, Bach Van Hoa and a third individual, a Chinese citizen.
He is being held in connection to the illicit trafficking of 14 rhino horns from Africa into Thailand in early December 2017, and is suspected of supervising an extensive syndicate responsible for trafficking large quantities of poached elephant ivory, rhino horn, pangolins, tigers, lions, and other rare and endangered species for more than a decade.
Last week, Thai police requested a further briefing from Freeland on the detailed web of Hydra and the Bach family, and unlocked the fresh evidence that led Thai Police to issue an immediate arrest warrant for Boonchai who was captured less than 24 hours later in Nakorn Panom.
