Will Gota get a restraining order again like anticipatory bail or some such gimmick.

Bala Wednesday, 22 August 2018 01:57 AM

Will Gota get some high priced lawyer and get aniticipatory relief again.

Asela Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:04 AM

I’m not sure what role Gota played in Sri Lankan, but the other 3 should be executed.

Real Peace Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:28 AM

Why did they steal so much from this poor country? Are they humans or something else?

Maru Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:50 PM

And more than half of the voters are happy to elect one of these as the next president.

kumudu Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:32 AM

How long it will take and what is verse punishment commission can give? Assume I am ignorant of law because procedure of law is changing so rapidly.

Upul Wednesday, 22 August 2018 04:12 AM

I believe this new system is just an eyewash to hoodwink the public. There will be inquiries but finally nothing is going to happen. This is the way it has been happening, and that will never change in SRILANKA.

Jaffna Logic Wednesday, 22 August 2018 04:34 AM

No one seem to explain to the public of the Judicial inquiries and the separate Police inquiries that has been going on in the form of “requested appearances” of the senior members of the last regime.What is exactly going on? How much progress these inquiries have made so faror is it just an add hock probe with no one serious enough and courage enough to go against these powerful men of the past?

Charge and jail

Unchikun Wednesday, 22 August 2018 05:01 AM

Aiyo, we have had enough of this type of news. Just a waste of tax payers money. The end result will be they go home happy.

Mevan Wednesday, 22 August 2018 05:17 AM

Now how many of these criminals are in Sri Lanka.

Rani Wednesday, 22 August 2018 11:38 AM

This is truly a joke. He is attending weddings abroad and is treated like one who is still in power. What a sham.

Tinkiriya Wednesday, 22 August 2018 05:51 AM

Here;s what we all "NOTICE". Never ever have we the innocent citizens and victims of this country seen a circus and mockery that is dominated by acts of clowns from either side; whether law breakers or law enforcement.

Odin Wednesday, 22 August 2018 06:55 AM

And disappear without notice as usual!!!

ANTON Wednesday, 22 August 2018 07:13 AM

THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY INNOCENT BECAUSE THEY HAD NEVER STOLEN COCONUT OIL CANS FROM SUPER MARKETS.

Unchikun Wednesday, 22 August 2018 07:16 AM

The Pabaya will stop the investigation soon. Sadly Gota is a god for some.

Flyer Wednesday, 22 August 2018 07:32 AM

Amila Wednesday, 22 August 2018 09:51 AM

Elections are around... the drama starts..

srilankan Wednesday, 22 August 2018 09:54 AM

It took 3 1/2 years to file the cases. Shame on Yahapalanaya...

saman Wednesday, 22 August 2018 10:22 AM

Looks like Sri Lankan has been regarded as a Rajapaksha property ,brothers cousins ,in laws all had share of millions of money robbed by them .Will Gota ever get a punishment or file a FR case preventing him appearing and prevent him getting arrested or sudden illness to go USA (He is a citizen of USA) for treatment .

kukula Wednesday, 22 August 2018 10:57 AM

Sajin Vass former boss of MR G.L,

asela Wednesday, 22 August 2018 11:12 AM

We only hope that present governments all robberies will be heard in the same courts or even in the supreme courts and take appropriate action including Ranils role in the billion dollar bond scam

Nihal Wednesday, 22 August 2018 11:28 AM

IF BIG CORRUPT THIEVES WERE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE PEOPLE'S OF SRILANKAN THINKING OF NEXT BIGGEST THIEVES IN THE PARLIAMENT MUSYT BRING TO JUSTICE WHO IS GOING TO SUBMIT CORRUPTION CAES TO THEM LET'S WSIT AND SEE

Mandy Wednesday, 22 August 2018 11:35 AM

From the comments, one sees how much contempt there is for the law and justice system prevailing in Sri Lanka and what level of regard they have. Corruption is endemic in SL to the extent common people are helpless totally and there is a feeling justice as they see it, will never be administered in SL.

Dee Wednesday, 22 August 2018 12:58 PM

We can see one 'Hero' running for anticipatory bail or an 'interim order'. What a clown. And to think some want him to be a leader?

Dhammika Thursday, 23 August 2018 10:46 AM

Because he is an AMERICAN citizen in Sri Lanka GR must be thinking he is above the LAW .

John Wednesday, 22 August 2018 01:19 PM

What about the rest of the former Board of Sri Lankan airlines?

Ceylon Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:52 PM

Its likely that gota might have to contest the election from jail.

Sanath Wednesday, 22 August 2018 04:19 PM

There is no end to these inquiries and obtaining statements etc, but nothing happens ultimately.

Dhammika Thursday, 23 August 2018 10:49 AM

These 3 can tell Dinesh G to speak to his class mate RW and be it like the PASSPORT WANSAs double ( 2 ) passport case verdict.
