Former MP Johnston Fernando faces overseas travel ban amid illegal vehicle allegations

By: Isuru Parakrama

October 10, Colombo (LNW): The Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court has issued an overseas travel ban on former MP Johnston Fernando on 10 October, following allegations that he was in possession of a luxury vehicle assembled illegally.

The travel restriction is part of an ongoing investigation into the matter, with authorities seeking to ensure Fernando remains available for legal proceedings.

The case stems from accusations that the former MP had acquired a high-end vehicle that did not comply with standard legal procedures for assembly and registration.

These allegations raise questions about potential involvement in the illegal vehicle trade, which has become a growing concern in Sri Lanka, with luxury vehicles often being smuggled into the country or assembled with non-compliant parts to evade taxes and regulations.

The ban prevents Fernando from leaving the country while investigations continue, a move that requires the conduction of a thorough inquiry into the matter.
