According to the spokesman for the Criminal Investigation Service (SIC) of Cunene, quartermaster José da Conceição, the fuel was seized during a micro police operation carried out along the border.
The official said that the fuel is purchased in a phased manner at fuel filling stations, with emphasis on the Pumangol pump in Santa Clara.
"And Angolan citizens and some Namibians, who are the potential buyers of this product, are involved in this type of crime," said the SIC spokesman, speaking to public radio, adding that the low cost of fuel in Angola encourages smuggling.
