German reptile collector jailed in NZ for attempted smuggling...
A German reptile collector has been jailed in New Zealand for 14 weeks for attempted smuggling and must pay a NZ$5000 fine for plundering New Zealand's wild gecko amd skink populations.
Hans Kurt Kubus, aged 58, will remember NZ well because he will be deported immediately he is released from prison and will never be allowed to return.
He was caught at Christchurch International Airport last December, 2009 , just as he was about to board his flight out of the country with 44 geckos and skinks in compartments in a handsewn package concealed in his underpants.
