Avant Garde Nissanka on Panama Papers

Avant-Garde Chairman Nissanka Senadhipathi today denied holding funds in Panama as published and presented in the media and social media websites, his counsel Nishan Premathiratne said. Mr. Premathiratne said his client's earnings from Avant-garde Maritime Services Pvt. Ltd were in foreign currency. “My client informed me that if even a dollar was found in a Panama account held by him as represented by the media, he would gladly donate it to the founder,” he said. Mr. Sendhipathi has said that the persons who have held public office should be specifically probed if they are alleged to have Panama accounts so as to verify the sources of the said earnings.
