India has made a lot of money ever since Russia invaded Ukraine. This is because they were purchasing Russian crude at a $30/barrel discount to the Brent Sea crude spot price. I calculated the amount of money they were making everyday off of this when it first started. It was millions/day.
India then turns that oil into Diesel or gasoline and then sells it to the countries that put the embargo on the Russian oil. They also transload some of that oil from one tanker to another. Maybe mix a little Nigerian oil with it and then sell it to a country that is embargoing Russian oil. Lastly, they change the BOL on the oil tanker and then sell it to any one who will buy it.
Oil is a fungible commodity. There is no chemical signature that identifies Russian oil from Nigerian Oil, North Dakota oil except the sulfur content. Sweet crude vs. sour crude.
When there is the opportunity to make millions of dollars/Euros/cash there is great motivation to cheat on the paper work.
