From the raid, the Gakkum Sub-Directorate Team led by AKBP Siswantoro confiscated 90 jerry cans of subsidized oil, 80 jerry cans each containing bio-diesel and 10 jerry cans containing pertalite.
Dirmanto explained that the case of illegal BBM was revealed after his party received information about the delivery of BBM using a fake license.
After being investigated, the perpetrator, who was after taking fuel at a gas station in the Sumenep area, was followed by the police to Dungkek Port.
It was at that place that the black pickup with the number P-8504-EA driven by the perpetrator was immediately stopped, and when it was searched it was found that the license was misused.
"So, the person in question is transporting fuel and wants to take it to Raas Island to be resold. However, during the process of taking BBM, he misused the permit from the related parties. When checked, the permit was fake and was used many times," he said. .
During the investigation, the perpetrator admitted that he was only ordered by someone or his boss and the plan was to store the fuel for later sale at retail.
For diesel, the perpetrator admitted that he bought it for Rp. 5,500 per liter, then sold it for Rp. 6,500 per liter. As for pertalite, it was bought at a price of IDR 7,650 per liter, then sold for IDR 8,500 per liter.
