Millions dollars of oil theft at Shell's in Singapore

[Pavel + 384]

Pulau Bukom (Singapur)  is the largest wholly owned Shell refinery in the world in terms of crude distillation capacity. Seventeen men have been arrested and seized $3.05 million ($2.29 million) in cash and a small, 12,000-deadweight-tonne tanker in police action in this city. It's a part of an investigation into a suspected oil theft at Shell’s refinery. It is not known how much of oil was theft. I believe it's a pretty similar situation in all those countries where foreign companies "keep" oil and where local staff work for them.
