Get ready for a story that sounds like a scene from a crime movie, but it’s real and it happened in Banovci! Police caught a shocking sight: a 45-year-old man was found with a staggering 2,000 liters of diesel fuel and a pump for dispensing gasoline. But that’s not all. In his yard, they found a full tanker of diesel, a pump, and even five empty tankers waiting to be filled. The total value of the stolen fuel is estimated at a jaw-dropping 300,000 dinars!
This isn’t just a simple theft — it’s organized crime with secret storage and illegal excise product sales. The police acted fast and filed criminal charges against the homeowner for illegal trade and storage of fuel.
Just imagine how much fuel could have vanished from legal sales and how much the state has been damaged! All while ordinary citizens pay ever-increasing prices at the pumps. Is this just the tip of the iceberg? Is there a bigger network of fuel smugglers behind these cases?
While authorities try to fight this problem, the question remains — how many more tankers and pumps are waiting to be uncovered? And how much more money from citizens’ pockets will end up in criminals’ hands?
If you think this is just another theft story, think again. This is a war for fuel, and we’re all on the front lines. So, what do you think — will justice be served, or will thieves keep filling their tanks on our dime? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for or against this battle with tankers and pumps in backyards!
