Workers at BP Guangzhou Development are among hundreds held in connection to illicit sales of lower-taxed light cycle oil, sources say

Police detained six employees of a BP PLC (NYSE: BP) joint venture in South China as part of an investigation into suspected illegal fuel trading.

The detentions, made in mid-April but revealed here for the first time, were among hundreds across the fuel supply chain of the southern province of Guangdong made during a probe into illicit sales of light cycle oil (LCO), a lower-taxed fuel sometimes blended with diesel to make it go further.
