In Iraq, 20 liters of gasoline can be purchased for as little as 50?? and resold in neighboring countries that produce no oil for as much as $10. Luxury items are smuggled in tax free by middlemen and then resold at a higher price. One big moneymaker for the sons involves trucking diesel fuel into Turkey.
