Researchers Arrested for Monkeypox Smuggling

Two NIH researchers, Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe, were arrested for allegedly smuggling monkeypox virus into the U.S. and lying to federal agents. The pair, working at a high-security biosafety lab, arrived from Congo amid an outbreak and were found carrying 113 vials — some containing deactivated monkeypox. Authorities emphasize no one is above the law, and the case underscores the risks of bypassing safety protocols. Both face up to five years in prison if convicted.
