COLOMBO: Police have arrested a retired Sri Lankan Army officer for being behind a scam to send former military personnel to serve in the Russian army amidst the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
The former major and a civilian were arrested by the police’s criminal investigation department for taking money from individuals to send them to Russia for military service.
It was reported last month that over a hundred former military men from Sri Lanka were serving on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war.
