Fuel sector specialists warn of a proliferation of illegal intermediaries following the dismantling of a network in the eastern region that processes fuel and resells it at some stations.

The same spokesman indicated in a statement to Hespress that they had been working as professionals to correspond with the guardianship authorities regarding the spread of the phenomenon of intermediaries and intruders who operate on the black market for consumed fuel in Morocco, stressing that this would lead to great losses and serious damage to the national economy due to the number of transactions that are traded outside the economic cycle.
