A Deputy General Manager of the Sathosa Finance Division was arrested by the police today for selling two containers containing 56,000 kilos of garlic belonging to the Sathosa to a businessman.
These containers of garlic confiscated by the Sri Lanka Customs had been given to the Sathosa to be released to the public at a concessionary price. The stock of garlic was smuggled to a private trader on the 9th and the two containers were taken away by a Sathosa warehouse at around 9.00 pm that night.
