The Banten Regional Police, through the Special Criminal\nInvestigation Directorate (Ditreskrimsus), have successfully uncovered a\nsyndicate involved in the misuse of subsidised diesel in Kampung Salira,\nSalira 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 Hutapea said in a written statement received in Tangerang\non Sunday.<\/p>\n
He explained the chronology of the case, which began with an\ninvestigation conducted by the investigative team at the PT Yasa Mitra\nKarya (YAMIKA) site in the Serang area on Thursday, 24 September. This\nwas the location where the syndicate operated, using heavy tronton\ntrucks to bulk-purchase subsidised diesel from several petrol stations\n(SPBU) along the Serang-Merak route.<\/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, it was revealed that the\nprimary suspect, NS, acted as the financier providing funds to suspect\nGJ. This capital was then distributed to the tronton truck drivers at a\nrate of Rp1 million per person to purchase diesel using their respective\nPertamina barcodes.<\/p>\n
\u201cBanten Regional Police will continue to enforce the law against all\nforms of misuse of subsidised fuel. We urge the public to use subsidised\nfuel only for its intended purpose,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He noted that from this operation, police seized several pieces of\nevidence, including four tronton trucks, one large storage container\ncontaining approximately 1,000 litres of subsidised diesel, 22 jerrycans\nwith a 35-litre capacity containing subsidised diesel, one electric\nwater pump, and supporting equipment such as hoses and funnels.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/subsidised-diesel-smuggling-syndicate-uncovered-modus-operandi-involves-bulk-purchases-at-petrol-stations-for-1790506369", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
