It looks like there’s a bit of fraud floating around Sri Lanka and this time its two big alcohol companies that are involved one of them being DCSL. I personally am not that fussed with the allegations, for one thing they were defrauding the government which in a way is kind of ironic because it’s the government that defrauds us. Also the fraud was in a good cause, well at least a good cause in my books. Seriously don’t you think keeping the price of arrack down while giving less money to monkey Mervyn and his clan to buy Cayennes is a good thing?
What I loved about this article though was the last past. As opposed to a sting in the tail, the customs officer, Sanath Fernando, who was interviewed mopes about how high risk the investigation is and how “sad to say” they are “awaiting a response from the authorities to our request to send a team of Customs investigators to France for further investigation into this racket.”
I actually did snort some cereal through my nose when reading that sentence. Typical of our “trustworthy” customs officers that fraud happens in Sri Lanka and they want a team to go to Paris. Must be something in the water (or the arrack).

You know i’ve heard that being a customs agent is the way to go in SL.. you get paid for sneaking things in and when you bust them you get paid a commision as well.. crazy eh.. I don’t know how policies are made sometimes..
