The final two defendants among six convicted of illegally importing elephant ivory disguised as African handicrafts have been sentenced to prison. Kemo Sylla and Mamadi Doumbouya were sentenced to 10 months and 14 months incarceration, respectively, for their felony convictions under the Lacey Act, which, together with the U.S. Endangered Species Act, prohibits the sale or transportation of protected wildlife, including elephant ivory.
