His accomplice was prosecuted separately in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence presented in court showed that Atepe forged a CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) import licence to facilitate the re-export of wildlife products\u2014including northern deer, elk, and peacock feathers\u2014from Kenya to the US. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prosecutors also revealed that Atepe forged KWS revenue stamps on import and export permits to enable these shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atepe faced additional charges for exporting wildlife products without a valid permit. The court concluded that the prosecution had proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt, despite numerous procedural and logistical challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Omwangala Atepe was sentenced to nine years in prison for illegally exporting wildlife products and forging official documents,
