Colombo Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne today ordered to suspend the transactions of 16 bank accounts of one-time Sri Lankan Ambassador to Russia, Udayanga Weeratunga over the inquiry conducted into the huge financial loss caused to the Government in the purchase of Ukraine-built MIG-27 aircraft in 2006.

Udayanga will evade arrest as long as former Mahinda's advisor Dr Saman Karunaratne is the ambassador to Russia who has close connections with Udayanga. Foolish govt to appoint a Russian citizen as Sri Lanka Ambassordor. Think and take action.

USD $1.5 mil is peanuts compared to the Bond Scam.

udayanga went to Ukraine to do a technical course and married to Russian lady in order to get PR. No education to become a ambassador he is like other cousin, Jaliya Wickramasuriya (Jailed) operate a business call club Sri lanka. A Club you can imagine what sort of activities going on. MR is day dreaming to become to power. Please dont allow those crooks to come back.
