The amount in the seizure was enough to cover three football fields. The importers paid the storage and disposal fees as part of a no-fault administrative settlement. The wood's impoundment was a pyrrhic victory in Washington's efforts to get Peru to clean up its notoriously corrupt timber industry. (ICE via AP)
