Rogue job agent meets Waterloo

* Over Rs 40 m swindled promising bogus jobs

* Suspect arrested after six months

A rogue foreign employment agent who swindled over Rs 40 million from 56 people, with the promise of lucrative overseas jobs has been arrested by Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) sleuths.

The sleuths on the hunt for the suspect for nearly six months after he went into hiding, apprehended him in Negombo.

The SLBFE has received complaints from 56 persons that the agent had obtained money from them promising lucrative overseas jobs and had not kept to his promise.

Investigations are continuing to ascertain whether there had been accomplices.

The suspect had collected money promising jobs in Cyprus, Israel and Malaysia. The job agent, a resident of Maharagama, has been identified as a former employment recruitment agent who had an office in Liyanagemulla, Seeduwa.

His licence had been revoked by the SLBFE in 2011.
