Probe uncovers laundered diesel in North

Customs officers and police today uncovered thousands of litres of laundered diesel and tons of toxic waste at illegal fuel plants in Co Armagh.

Officials said the operations found on an industrial estate on the Moy Road in Armagh, and in the Cullaville area, could produce 13 million litres of illicit diesel a year, potentially costing an annual £8m (€9.25m) in lost government revenue.
