Chinese agent exposed by FT investigation into North Korea oil trade arrested

South Korean authorities detain broker amid fears of flight risk after activities were revealed

A Chinese oil broker whose activities were exposed by a Financial Times investigation has been arrested in South Korea on suspicion of organising illegal transfers of diesel to North Korea.

The broker is suspected of arranging more than 35 transfers amounting to 18,000 tonnes of diesel, in deals valued by the South Korean coastguard at Won18bn ($14.6mn).

The Chinese ship then conducted ship-to-ship transfers with North Korean vessels, a violation of UN sanctions.
