I opened the warehouse door next to the parked chartered bus.
A drum larger than a human body is placed.
This is a 'fake oil' manufacturing site.
['Fake Oil' Enforcement Team: After quality inspection by the Petroleum Management Service, it was judged to be fake oil.] About
70% kerosene and 30% diesel. This is their own fake oil manufacturing formula.
This is a charter bus that requires diesel, but we have reduced the cost by mixing kerosene, which is half the price of diesel.
Only 22,000 liters of kerosene and diesel purchased by the chartered bus company here.
It is enough to fill 60 to 70 buses.
Illegal manufacturing was done by bus drivers.

Unlicensed companies who illegally distributed oil were also caught.
In one office, bundles of 50,000 won came out of a suitcase, and it is a trace that unauthorized business operators secretly operated only cash transactions at a closed gas station.

There was also a group of people caught selling diesel oil left in the fuel tanks of scrap cars.
A total of 3.51 million liters of illegally manufactured and distributed oil caught by Gyeonggi-do is 17,000 based on 200-liter drums.
In terms of market value, it is equivalent to 4.6 billion won.
Gyeonggi Province decided to hand over 10 people per day who manufactured or illegally distributed fake oil to the prosecution.
