Fifteen men suspected of being involved in an illegal MGO transaction Friday at the sea off Sultan Shoal lighthouse have been arrested in Singapore.
Authorities said eight crew members of a Singapore registered vessel were suspected of selling 1,000 litres of stolen MGO to seven crew of a foreign-registered tugboat.
The tugboat has been seized for investigations.
Nine of the men will be charged on Saturday, while investigations against six of the group were said to be ongoing.
