Attending a news conference yesterday (07) Former Sri Lankan Ambassador to Russia Udayanga Weeratunga claimed he was smarter than the Yahapalana government that could not even serve indictments against him over the alleged MiG deal fraud.

“The Yahapalana government could not bring me down here at that time . I am smarter than them,” he said commenting on the case which he was implicated.

Udayanga Weeratunga was part of a deal signed between the Air Force and Ukrinmash, in June 2006 amounting to almost US $15 million to purchase MiG-27 Aircrafts for the Air Force.

In December 2006 it was exposed by the Sunday Times that the MiG aircraft purchased had cost US $2.4 million per plane, or double the price paid six years earlier per aircraft under the Chandrika Kumaratunga regime.
