(中国籍旅客入境上海私带121条蛇被刑事立案|旅客|入境|蛇_新闻资讯

　　人民网上海11月13日电(沈文敏、曾姝)近日，上海海关查获入境旅客携带未申报的活体蛇121条，经鉴定为《濒危野生动植物国际贸易公约》附录Ⅱ中的保护动物球蟒。目前，上海海关缉私局已刑事立案。

　　11月6日中午，上海海关旅检关员正在验放从香港抵达上海的HX236航班旅客，一名中国籍男子拖着一个大号拉杆箱经过X光机检查。此时，关员发现该行李过机图像异常，便拦住了这名旅客详细询问箱内物品，男子含糊其辞，称装的是玩具。关员要求该男子打开箱子进行检查。

　　行李箱打开后，旅检关员看到里面整齐摆放着两个白色大纸箱，共装有21个方形小塑料盒，塑料盒里全是用黑色丝袜包好的蛇，大小、花色不一。男子解释说这些是橡胶制成的玩具蛇，只有20多条。

　　但细心的关员发现，这些蛇捏上去很柔软、会动，每个盒子里装有2-8条不等，有些甚至已经跑了出来。眼看“玩具蛇”一说露馅，该男子立马改口辩称，“这些蛇是自己要带回家当宠物养的，有40多条，不是拿来卖的，也不是什么珍贵品种，绝对不是蟒蛇。”

　　男子的多次谎言和狡辩引起了海关关员的怀疑，而在该男子出示的《大陆居民往来港澳通行证》中，共有三次赴港记录，分别在4月、8月及本月，这更加引起了关员的警觉。经过检查，行李箱中共装有121条活体蛇，初步鉴定为球蟒，属于《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录Ⅱ中的保护动物。
