Allegations of Nighttime Poaching in the Androlikou Area
September 23, 2026
The head of the Game Service reported serious allegations concerning an organized poaching gang operating in the Androlikou area. The poachers act regularly at night, using powerful spotlights to blind the animals. Despite increased night patrols, they manage to evade capture and are only caught when detected by game wardens. There is a need for harsher penalties, including the freezing of poachers' assets. Current penalties are deemed inadequate as offenders continue their activities.
