The provincial police said on March 29 that the suspects were Le Hung Phong and Do Van Ba, who live in HCMC, the local media reported.
On March 28, the Dong Nai police teamed up with the Criminal Police Department, the HCMC and Long An police and the Ministry of Public Security’s officers to raid six more petrol stations owned by Huynh Khang Company Ltd. in HCMC’s Binh Chanh District and Binh Long Petrol Private Company in Long An Province’s Ben Luc District.
The police collected documents and bills associated with the ring of smuggling, producing and trading sub-standard fuels, which was co-led by Phan Thanh Huu, residing in HCMC, aged 64. In the massive poor-quality fuel ring, Phong and Ba were identified as managers of the two firms.
