Myanmar Records Point to Concealed Aviation-Fuel Imports Worth $109.5 Million
Justice For Myanmar says documents from a junta commerce ministry data leak show six aviation-fuel imports into Myanmar were described as high-speed diesel and routed through proxy companies. The imports took place between December 2024 and November 2025 and totalled more than 843,000 barrels, valued at US$109.5 million, according to the organisation’s October 26 investigation.
The group says the records include import permits, confidential letters from the Foreign Exchange Supervisory Committee, contracts, invoices and company documents. In examples involving National Energy Prime Aviation Services Company and broker Dynamic Wave, committee letters authorised imports under Dynamic Wave’s name on behalf of the aviation-fuel company and described the product as diesel. The findings are claims by Justice For Myanmar based on its review of those records; they are not an announced enforcement determination.
