Publication director Ongoundou-Loundah, editor in chief Nkoghe, and reporter Beaumel of the private weekly La Griffe, were each sentenced to eight months in prison and fined 3,000,000 CFA (US$5,000) in damages and interest payable to Air Gabon Director General René Morvan. The case was in connection with an article published in a June issue of La Griffe reporting that Morvan was involved in ivory trafficking.
