According to the head of the SIC, Manuel Halaiwa, at the shipyard, located in the Panguila area, Dande municipality, Bengo province, there were ten containers with fuel, which was collected by trucks and transported to different parts of the country, next to the borders.
A 29-year-old Chinese citizen, responsible for the company, and a 33-year-old Angolan were arrested during the action.
Every week, the authorities have promoted several actions to prevent and combat fuel smuggling, a crime that results in significant losses in terms of revenue.
A liter of gasoline costs around 296 kwanzas (30 cents) in Angola, while in the Democratic Republic of Congo it is sold for around 989 kwanzas (one euro).
On Saturday, the seizure of another 600,000 liters of fuel at shipyards in the same area was announced.
