Message: <blockquote data-quote="topkollek" data-source="post: 31303909" data-attributes="member: 510150">After retiring, Jayaweera became a newspaper columnist. In early 2020 (around February), he wrote a detailed critical article titled "SriLankan Airlines Airbus Deal" on Colombo Telegraph. It highlighted the airline's massive losses, overpricing suspicions (e.g., A350s valued above market), board meetings held at a politician's residence, intermediary "consultancy" payments (referencing the later-revealed ~USD 16.8 million in alleged bribes tied to the deal), and called for probes into irregularities. Other pieces by him critiqued SriLankan Airlines' broader mismanagement under different governments.<a href="https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/srilankan-airlines-airbus-deal/" target="_blank">https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/srilankan-airlines-airbus-deal/</a>Colombo Telegraph article timeline vs. death:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Main article ("SriLankan Airlines Airbus Deal" by Rajeewa Jayaweera): Published 16 February 2020.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Follow-up article ("USD 16.8 Million Bribe [USER=8071]@srilankan[/USER] Airlines – Response To Eran Wickramaratne"): Published 1 March 2020 (his most recent public writing specifically addressing the Airbus deal and related bribery allegations).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Date of death: Evening of 11 June 2020 (he sent a text/letter to his brother around 8:30 pm explaining his decision).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Body discovered: Early morning of 12 June 2020 (around 6:30–7:00 am near Independence Square, Colombo, with a gunshot wound).</li> </ul>grok<img src="https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTg5ZGEwMjhjNnBvZTdnZGdhYzFsdnN0aDRiNjZmMno2dnExaDlpcHR6bGZzbDc0ciZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/21VTFJTEr1x9ortvO3/200.gif" alt="Suspicious Dexter GIF" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
