Thushan Gunawardena, who divulged Garlic Scam, named as suspect to case

Date:

Former Executive Director of the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) Thushan Gunawardena revealed that his flight to the United States for a business venture was not allowed and that officers from the Immigration and Emigration Department had detained him, due to what he described as being named as a suspect to a case pending trial in the Welisara Magistrate Court.

Pointing out that he was not informed of such a designation being made against him, Gunawardena added that this case involves the Garlic Scam, which was divulged before the country by none other than himself in the first place.

Accordingly, the former CAA Executive Director noted that him being named as a suspect to the Garlic Scam would be highly problematic.
