A workshop for the production of fake gasoline using primitive materials was seized in Beit Sachem in the rural area of Damascus.
Details:
Supply Control Patrols conducted an inspection patrol in the area of Beit Sachem in the Damascus countryside, which resulted in the seizure of an unlicensed workshop engaged in the production and sale of counterfeit gasoline, as part of the inspection's efforts to protect the consumer and reduce fraud.
The patrol discovered, with the violator's approval, that he mixed oxalin with methanol, and added a quantity of green dye to obtain a substance that he sold in the markets as gasoline intended for cars.
The patrols confiscated the tools used in the fraud procedure, which included an electric pump, a battery, paint and plastic containers, in addition to the quantities of counterfeit gasoline seized.
The patrols closed the workshop with red wax and sealed it legally, and took the necessary legal steps against the violator.
The concerned authorities confirmed the continuation of their monitoring campaigns to control violations and protect citizens from fake materials, and called for cooperation and reporting of any similar cases.
