The Banten Regional Police, through the Special Criminal\nInvestigation Directorate (Ditreskrimsus), have successfully dismantled\na syndicate involved in the misuse of subsidised diesel fuel in Kampung\nSalira, Salira Village, Serang Regency.<\/p>\n
Banten Regional Police Head of Public Relations, Kombes Pol Maruli\nAhiles Hutapea, stated that during the investigation, police secured and\nidentified two suspects, initials NS and GJ.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main suspect, NS, acted as the financier who supplied funds to\nsuspect GJ,\u201d said Hutapea in a written statement received in Tangerang\non Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce the vehicle tanks were filled, the trucks would return to the\nPT YAMIKA area. At that location, an employee with the initials RH was\ntasked with siphoning the diesel from the truck tanks into 35-litre\njerrycans,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
The diesel from these jerrycans was subsequently collected into a\nlarge storage container (kempu) with a one-tonne capacity to be resold\non the market at industrial prices of Rp11,000 per litre to reap\npersonal profits.<\/p>\n
Based on the investigators\u2019 findings, the primary suspect, NS,\nprovided the capital to GJ. This capital was then distributed to tronton\ntruck drivers at a rate of Rp1 million each to purchase diesel using\ntheir respective Pertamina barcodes.<\/p>\n
He added that from the case disclosure, the police seized several\npieces of evidence, including: four tronton trucks, one large storage\ncontainer containing approximately 1,000 litres of subsidised diesel, 22\njerrycans with a 35-litre capacity containing subsidised diesel, one\nelectric water pump, and supporting equipment such as hoses and\nfunnels.<\/p>\n
Due to their actions, the suspects are charged under Article 55 of\nLaw Number 22 of 2001 concerning Oil and Gas, as amended by the Job\nCreation Law, in conjunction with relevant criminal law provisions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe perpetrators face a maximum prison sentence of six years and a\nmaximum fine of up to Rp60 billion,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/police-dismantle-subsidised-fuel-hoarding-syndicate-1790506635", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
