    Bolivia: probe into ring that stole and adulterated fuel imported through Chilean ports

    YPFB tanker trucks with a capacity of up to 33,000 liters allegedly were illegally offloading between 700 and 1,000 liters at the Chilean ports of Arica and Iquique

    Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz on Tuesday denounced the existence of an international ring dedicated to stealing and adulterating gasoline and diesel imported into the country, with operations detected in Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay. According to the president, the scheme originated under the previous management of Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB), the state-owned fuel supply company.
