Detectives of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine exposed individuals who illegally produced and sold fuel in Dnipropetrovs'k region. Diesel and gasoline of A-95 and A-92 brands were sold through a network of gas stations.

The detectives of the ESBU conducted 8 searches in Kryvyi Rih city. On the territory of one of the gas station chains there were no permits, fuel quality certificates and documents on its origin.

In addition some gas stations did not have cash registers and operators worked without official registration.

As a result of the searches the Bureau seized over 35 tons of counterfeit fuel. Its estimated value is over UAH 2 million.

The full range of persons involved in the production and distribution of counterfeit fuel is being identified. The pre-trial investigation under Parts 1, 2 Art. 204 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is being conducted by detectives of the Main Detective Unit of the ESBU with operational support from the Department of Internal Security and Protection of Employees of the ESBU. The procedural supervision is provided by prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office.

As reported, the detectives of the ESBU exposed an oil refinery that produced counterfeit fuel in Dnipropetrovs'k region. This plant previously had the appropriate licenses. Subsequently it continued to operate without any permits and proper accounting. The production capacity was up to 150-200 tons per day.
