Pubudu Jayagoda, Politburo member of the Frontline Socialist Party (FSP), says that the government is on effort to reactivate the bank accounts of Arjun Aloysius, which were suspended in connection to the notorious Central Bank bond fraud.
Jayagoda said, “Mendis Liquor Company owned by Arjun Aloysius, who owns Perpetual Treasuries Limited, is the firm implicated party in the notorious Central Bank bond scam. This is the certificate of prosecution of Mendis Company for non-payment of income tax. As it stands, this Mendis company has completely failed to pay taxes of nearly 280-300 crore rupees. Even so their liquor production license was suspended due to non-payment of taxes. It has been decided to furnish both the suspended licenses without paying a single cent of tax.”
He continued: “The proscription on bank accounts suspended due to the Central Bank bond fraud will be lifted and these accounts will be reactivated. If you go to do that, all the fraudulent money accounts in the bond scam have been frozen – the first stage is to put that money into personal accounts through the bond scam. Now, as the second stage of the fraud, the decision to terminate the account suspension is going to be taken and the money in these accounts will be withdrawn. Only one private bank has 4 billion money deposited.”
Mr. Pubudu Jayagoda mentioned this while addressing a press conference held by the Frontline Socialist Party (FSP).
