The following article was edited at 5.30 pm (Singapore time) on Wednesday (18 September). A Bunker Holding spokesperson has clarified that charges faced by Dan-Bunkering were ‘preliminary’ in nature.

Dan-Bunkering, including another unidentified company, and two individuals on Tuesday (17 September, Denmark time) ~~were charged~~ faced preliminary charges by the Danish State Prosecutor of Serious Economic and International Crime (SOIK) with violation of EU Syria sanctions over the supply of jet fuel to a Russian firm, several sources confirmed to the Danish media DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation).

The Court in Odense on Tuesday morning issued a gag order against mentioning the name of the unidentified company along with the two individuals who were charged; hence, further details have not been released.*

The Chairman of the Denmark Parliamentary Committee, Preben Bang Henriksen (V), as quoted by DR, commented:

I think it is positive that there is now progress in the matter. It has been pushed back and forth between different authorities. Now it looks like something is happening. It is a case that also has [attracted] some international attention.

The Danish Criminal Code at section 110c states:

Any person who, intentionally or through negligence, contravenes any provisions or prohibitions that may have been provided by law for the fulfilment of the state’s obligations as a member of the United Nations shall be liable to a fine or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding four months or, in aggravating circumstances, to imprisonment for any term not exceeding four years.

*A story related to this case published by Manifold Times on Tuesday has been taken down due to the court issued gag order.

Singapore police arrest eight over alleged illegal MGO transaction off Tuas

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) on Thursday (13 August) said it has arrested eight men, aged between 25 and 54, for their suspected involvement in an illegal transaction of Marine Gas Oil (MGO).

On 13 August 2026 at about 1.05am, officers from the Police Coast Guard (PCG) conducted a check on a Singapore-registered tugboat in the waters off Tuas and discovered that eight crew members were possibly involved in the illegal transaction of MGO.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the crew members of the tugboats misappropriated MGO valued at about SGD 10,570 (USD 8,258), without their company’s knowledge,” SPF said in a statement.

“The MGO was sold illegally for their personal financial gain.”

The eight crew members will be charged in court on 14 August 2026 with the offence of theft by servant of property in possession of master under Section 381 of the Penal Code 1871 If convicted, they shall be punished with an imprisonment term that may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine.

“The Police take a serious view of illegal transaction of MGO in Singapore Territorial Waters and will continue to conduct enforcement and security checks to prevent, deter and detect such illicit activities in Singapore waters,” SPF added.
