Twenty Port workers interdicted on missing container issue
[31 May 2000]

The Port Authority, Colombo, has sacked twenty Port workers who are allegedly involved in the issue involving the missing 44 containers at the Colombo Harbour, sources said.

These people have released 44 containers by producing forged documents to the authorities.  There was an Assistant Manager, thirteen storekeepers and six wharf clerks among them.  

The interdictions took place after investigations on the matter, where suspicions arose as to whether they were carrying ammunition.

Admiral Mohan Samarasekara stated that the businessman, who imported the forty-four containers, has brought thirty-seven more containers, which are now under Customs, investigations.
