Oil smugglers challenging themselves : Three-kilometer pipeline between Turkey and Iran !

Smugglers in the ever-lucrative oil-bussiness have built themselves a 3-kilometer impromptu pipeline over the Turkish-Iranian border in the eastern Turkish province of Hakkari to transfer crude petrolium and oil to Turkey.

Hakkari, Eastern Turkey / NationalTurk – The oil-smugglers’ makeshift facility includes even a small refinery and five storage tanks, each with 5,000 liters of capacity,  in the vicinity of the center Şemdinli district, Turkish officials informed.

The Turkish gendarmerie also discovered a two-room barracks near the facility, while the Hakkari Governor’s Office also reported the finding of a power generator. Police and gendarmerie teams disassembled the pipeline while seizing materials and gas before launching a probe into the illegal trade.
