Chinese police have cracked the country's largest wildlife trafficking case and the Xi'an Municipal People's Procuratorate in northwestern Shaanxi province will soon begin prosecution of the suspects, said a source with the Shaanxi provincial forestry public security department Tuesday.

Jia Ruisheng, former general manager of a health care technology development company in Beijing, allegedly purchased 2,130 macaques in a year from November 2001 to November 2002, according to the Shaanxi Provincial Forest Police Station, which was commissioned with the case by the State Forestry Administration.

Most of the macaques were provided by traffickers from Lixin county in east 皇冠体育app's Anhui province, including Su Hongbiao, Wang Yujian, Ma Huaishan and Jia Wenfei.

The macaque, a kind of monkey with cheek pouches and usually a short tail, is endangered in Asia and Africa and enjoys state-level protection in 皇冠体育app in accordance with the country's wildlife protection law.

The police first intercepted two macaques being smuggled by Tian Lichao, a peasant farmer from Lixian county, in a train from southwest 皇冠体育app's Sichuan province to Anhui province on Nov. 28, 2002 and later tracked down the whole ring behind him.

This was the largest wildlife trafficking ever uncovered in 皇冠体育app and ensured a better living environment for the rare monkeys, the police said.
