It wasn’t smuggled gasoline
Initially, voices had spread that the gasoline load that was being handled in the mountains it was a contraband hydrocarbon, which was ruled out by the mayor of Maicao, Mohamed Dasuki.
“The information that the authorities have provided me is that it was national gasoline from ColombiaBut the fact is that given the shortage that exists throughout the department, many merchants buy it at the stations and then sell it in other municipalities where it ends first in the month.
A version in the sense that It could be Colombian gasoline that is now illegally introduced into Venezuela, was not rejected outright by the municipal leader, but explained that “the road where the fire occurred is not used for smuggling and although it is true that it is already in a rural area, it is not known in Maicao that it is taken to go to Venezuela, “said the president.
The loaded truck was stranded
About the reasons for the fire the authorities they have ruled out that there had been a collision between two vehicles, and they explained that the type 7.50 truck that was loaded with gasoline pipettes broke down and that is why they looked for a similar truck to pass the plastic pipettes and take them to their destination.

“The quota in lives that has been sacrificed in the illicit gasoline business and now in irregular transport, it is very large and families do not deserve that suffering, that is why I call for legality so that an event like this does not occur again, the examples of Tasajera in Magdalena and now in Maicao, are very telling and we must learn not to continue repeating the setbacks, “said Dasuki.
