Two Tanzanian men caught
with 16 ostrich eggs were sentenced to 25 years in jail on Friday after being
convicted of "economic sabotage".
AFP
report continues:
The
sale of ostrich eggs, used in traditional medicine or to make tourist gifts, is
illegal in Tanzania.
Judge
Ismael Ngaila sentenced Matiko Marwa, 32, and Julius Marwa, 42, to 25 years
each, according to a source at the Serengeti District Court Registry.
At the time of their arrest in December 2016, the two men said they planned to sell the eggs in neighbouring Kenya where they would be used in a purported AIDS cure.
