Colombo Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne has today (20)issued a warrent to arrest the former Sri Lankan Ambassador to Russia Udayanga Weerathunge through the International Police (Interpol) as per the request made by Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID).
The FCID Officials had requested the Colombo Fort Magistrate to issue a red notice warrent to arrest former Sri Lankan Ambassador to Russia Udayanga Werathunge over his involvement in the controversial Mig Air Craft Purchase Deal in 2006.
However the Colombo Fort Magistrate has refused to issue a warrent to arrest Weerathunge on a previous occasion when the FCID requested to issue a warrent against him by stating the former Sri Lankan Ambassador to Russia was not a suspect of the alleged deal.
This time the Magistrate has issued a warrent after the FCID had produced a document to the court by naming Udayange Weerath as a suspect of the deal.
