Colombo, 22 November, (Asiantribune.com):
Danuna Tilakaratne (son-in-law of General Sarath Fonseka)
Asian Tribune has found that Hicorp/British Bourne - Companies registered by Danuna Tilakaratne (son-in-law of General Sarath Fonseka and son of retired Brigadier Tilakaratne) in Oklahoma, USA, had submitted false evidence to win tenders they had submitted in Sri Lanka to the Army, Navy, Air force and the police Danuna registered the business in Oklahoma, as well as in Texas. Also he registered his business in Colombo too.
He registered Hicorp Company in Oklahoma in his name, but suddenly on Nov 16, 2009, he changed the registration in favor of some other person apparently after he got the wind of Asian Tribune’s investigations into his dealings.
In Colombo Danuna registered his business under the name of Lakshman Abeysekara.
Lakshman Abeysekara is just a name. The actual registration was done through a lawyer Mr. A.S.H.A Hanan. This lawyer made some kind of deal with Danuna Thilakaratne as a silent partner of the company in Sri Lanka. Detail of this registration is given in this column.
Danuna’s company in Oklahoma shows Ruwinda Gunaratne is a director with effect from Nov 16.
Ruwinda is the son of Vice Air Marshal Channa Gunaratne, Director Planning in the Sri Lankan Air Force.
Ruwinda used to live with Danuna. That was long time back. On Nov 16, he was not in the US as he had returned home by then, according to Asian Tribune’s investigation.
Yet, Danuna, on 16th November went to the State Secretary’s Office and changed the name of the company to Ruwinda Gunaratne’s name.
How could he do this? By simply forging the documents! Danuna forged the signatures of Ruwinda and got the company changed to his name. But Ruwinda was not aware of these changes. Danuna also put some other Sri Lankans’ addresses without the knowledge of those Sri Lankans.
Danuna Thilakaratne does not have an Alien Residency in US (Green Card), but he does have a H1B visa. (If you are a Foreign national who wants to live and Work in the USA, you need to get HIB Visa)
He had filed that H1B visa through a company which does not even exist in the US.
What Danuna did for the tax? It is suspected that he forged documents and on that basis submitted his tax returns.

Danuna stayed in his home in Oklahoma (his wife stays there) and made phone calls to all the generals. There is a gang in this field – a brigadier identified as Fydel Meedin, Colonel Col Rohan Wijesundara and many others.
Danuna Thilakaratne minted millions of US dollars from contracts secured from the security forces of Sri Lanka. He supplied a wide variety of items and munitions starting with the security systems for army headquarters, surveillance cameras and related ancillaries, and gas masks to binoculars.
For the past 3-4 years, he was the fountain head of all military supplies. And he minted millions of dollars. All because his father-in-law was the Army Commander!

Danuna’s Dubious Investments
Danuna Thilakaratne started a new Salon in Kirulapana, Sri Lanka besides a Salon at Las Vegas, USA, Night Club at Holiday Inn, Sri Lanka, Beach Hotel in Negambo Sri Lanka, Communication Company in London, and Salon in Galle Face Hotel. He invested millions of dollars in the American and Sri Lankan stock markets. Where did he get this money? Gen Fonseka should be asked for a reply.
The Former Army Commander got President Fund scholarship for his daughter to study in the USA though the scholarship is meant for poor students. He used to get his son-in-law’s economy class air ticket upgraded to the first class on the National Carrier Sri Lankan Airlines. This upgrading was not limited to his son-in-law alone. The General’s entire family and their friends got upgrades for more than 50 times when Sarath Fonseka was the Army Commander.
The General’s official vehicle with commando guards in tow was used by the son-in-law for his personal purpose and for his business visits.
The General granted SL Army intelligence money to political campaigns.
