Nancy Gonzalez, a well-known fashion designer, has been detained on suspicion of importing crocodile handbags. Following the accusations, she may be sentenced to 25 years in jail or fined $500,000. Although selling a few crocodile skins is lawful, it needs a certificate, which is costly and time-consuming. Investigators believe Gonzalez smuggled multiple handbags by bribing people to carry them in their baggage on flights. If anybody questioned them, the designer instructed them to explain the bags were presents from family.
Each handbag has a price tag of roughly $10,000. According to US Fish and Wildlife Service investigators, 12 passengers were carrying four purses when boarding a trip to the US. Gonzalez, they said, paid for the round-trip tickets for the flights.
