Container scam suspect given Customs Director General position

Samagi Jana Balawegaya MP Mujibur Rahman has accused Seevali Arukgoda, who has been appointed as the new Director General of Sri Lanka Customs, of being involved in a recent container scam.

He said that the committee that investigated the controversial “red label” container issue incident had also indicted Seevali Arukgoda.

“How can a person who has been indicted through an official investigation be given such a high position?” he asked at a media briefing.
