Documentary Description
Britain's petrol and diesel is among the most expensive in Europe.
But the rising cost of fuel has also placed it at the heart of a growing
criminal black market. High value, untraceable and in constant
demand, fuel has become the perfect illicit commodity. It is a crime
that stretches from drivers filling up at garage forecourts without
paying, to a dark and dangerous underworld run by gangsters and former
terrorists. With exclusive access to the police and HM Revenue
and Customs teams tasked with fighting fuel crime, Panorama reporter
Samantha Poling investigates this multi-million pound illegal business.
