"Illegal Art Ring"
Defunct local art museum Rams, which closed last February, has allegedly sold some 200 stuffed wildlife specimens on the auction block.
Sculptures, paintings, and other pieces are accounted for and have been sold to private collectors and legitimate museums, but no information concerning the specimens has emerged.
The police are demanding that the auctioneer relinquish an inventory list confirming their whereabouts. Such specimens are banned from sale by auction, and rumors of endangered species in this batch are rampant.
