KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – A notorious wildlife trafficker dubbed the "Lizard King" for his smuggling of endangered reptiles is back in business, according to an Al Jazeera report that prompted outraged wildlife activists to demand action Friday (November 22nd), AFP reported.

Al Jazeera said AnsonWong and wife Cheah Bing Shee were believed to be trading albino pythons and other wildlife from their base in Penang.

The report, called "Return of the Lizard King", aired late Thursday and showed documents revealing shell companies Wong used to hide his activities.

Wong was arrested in August 2010 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport while attempting to smuggle 95 endangered boa constrictors to Indonesia.

He was sentenced to five years in jail, but a Malaysian appeals court freed him in 2012, sparking an outcry.

Malaysian authorities said in the wake of Wong's arrest, his licences for legitimate wildlife trading were revoked.

"The 'Return of the Lizard King' raises so many doubts and questions about Malaysia's commitment to that fight. It is time we had some solid answers from government," Shenaaz Khan, an official with wildlife-trade monitoring network Traffic, said in a statement.

Several of Wong's former associates also claimed corrupt customs officials in Malaysia, Indonesia and Madagascar were helping to facilitate Wong's activities, the report said.
