Well, according to best information we could gather, the smuggler has well placed political connections - so instead of having the fuel taken away and face a fine for three times the value, he was - incredibly - allowed to apply for an import license. This basically means that the Ministry of Finance is bending over backward to enable a person whose smuggling business erodes their most taxed commodity.

So, our reports say this smuggler will get only a slap on the wrist in the form of a modest fine and be allowed to keep the fuel.
