Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa’s coordinating secretary Champika Karunaratne was yesterday arrested by the Financial Crime Investigation Division (FCID) on charges of being in possession of 1.1 kilograms of gold.
The arrest was made at a house in Boralesgamuwa.
Sources said he would be produced in the Fort Magistrate’s Court today.
Mr. Karunaratne was released on bail after being arrested by the FCID in November last year on charges of defrauding state funds by holding posts in state institutions such as the Ports Ministry and the National Lotteries Board -- while serving as a presidential coordinating secretary.
According to reports he had also worked as MP Namal Rajapaksa’s coordinating secretary.(Darshana Sanjeewa)

mmm....gradually gold thieves are coming out. I can remember former DIG's wife lodge a complain to FCID regarding gold. (DIG is in prison for revealing about the lost gold). Looks to me the culprit has distributed the gold to henchmen. Get him to explain from where it came from.

There is a massive difference between wealth from hard earned money and wealth from corrupt means. This confusion is part of the problem in our society.
