Former Chief of Defence Staff Roshan Gunathilake was interrogated by the Police Financial Crime Investigation Division (FCID) on the MiG aircraft transaction in 2006, Police Spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekara said.

He said the interrogations were based on the Rs.1.5 million spent on repairing four MiG aircraft bought in 2006 from Ukraine.

Meanwhile, former President’s Chief of Staff Gamini Senarath was again interrogated by the FCID this morning in connection with the large scale corruption alleged to have taken place at the People’s Leasing Company. (LSP)

Karanagoda and others enjoyed enough positions and diplomatic postings after the war. No more rewards are necessary. via DM Android App

Actually their is a lot of corruption in the Military and I am a soldier. Most of the Military voted MS because of that

anura1 Saturday, 28 March 2015 01:18 PM

Yahapalanaya is going to ruin the the reputation of all our war heroes.

Gobba Saturday, 28 March 2015 01:55 PM

And this guy is being touted by all the Mahinda Baiyyas including the racist BBS to be elevated to Field Marshal level !!!!!!

kyiv Saturday, 28 March 2015 05:22 PM

What about the superluxury hide out he built in the knuckles?

kondaya77 Saturday, 28 March 2015 11:18 PM

All the crooks were with Mahinda ali baba.Put up or shut up! arrest them all. This is not a witch hunt.

TONY Saturday, 28 March 2015 11:25 PM

IT IS NOT WORTH TO BE IN GOVT SERVICE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU ARE A SUSPECT EITHER FOR CORRUPTION OR FRAUD

Lokuge Sunday, 29 March 2015 07:37 AM

Air Vice Marshal Roshan Goonetilike is a gentlemen. No doubt about that.As a Sri Lankan I am very proud of him. And I will always remember him as a real war hero.May God bless him and his beautiful family.

lionheart Friday, 27 March 2015 05:02 PM

We had the guns on us for 10 years. You try and see what will happen to you....think we are still in the Mahinda era?????

Achcharu Friday, 27 March 2015 02:46 PM

Another Witch-hunt

sabang Friday, 27 March 2015 02:52 PM

Hope these witch-hunting exercises will not demoralize the Armed Forces who have made supreme sacrifices to ensure liberty and peace for all the people of this country.

Noel Friday, 27 March 2015 02:55 PM

Given the gigantic corruption of our politicos is Rs.1.5 Million a big deal to tarnish the image of a former officer?

kukula Friday, 27 March 2015 03:11 PM

a waste of public money and time interrogating crocks and criminals. lock them up.

Ninja Friday, 27 March 2015 04:21 PM

How about his bungalow at Hotain Plains ?

Nick Friday, 27 March 2015 04:43 PM

Was he supposed to be a Christian?

Foni Friday, 27 March 2015 04:47 PM

Roshan Gunathilake and Wasantha Karannagoda also should be awarded with ranks equal to Field Marshal.

Cheers Friday, 27 March 2015 02:43 PM

now you are finding fault with a person who was an architect of the war stop this nonsense before they turn guns on you

lionheart Friday, 27 March 2015 05:04 PM

Tell that to Mahinda. He could easily have done it during his time.....FYI Roshan Gunatilaka could not shoot down the LTTE mosquitos. It was shot down by the army...says it all doesnt it? Not to mention a bungalow in the middle of the world heritage site "Sinharaja Forest".

saman Friday, 27 March 2015 05:14 PM

SL has became a joke!

dilip Friday, 27 March 2015 05:25 PM

Media show continues ,all the crooks are with the government . You people got to be very careful, the end results could be very dangerous .

Latham Friday, 27 March 2015 05:30 PM

Just because he was the A.F.C during the war does not mean he can get away if he has done anything wrong.What about the house he built in the knuckles, it was all over the newspaper but, he managed to sweep it under the carpet. The law must be equal for every one rich or poor.

Laths Friday, 27 March 2015 05:38 PM

Foni are you out of your mind.

Bala Friday, 27 March 2015 05:39 PM

Roshanbuilt a house in a protected wild life area as well. He did many wrong things.

mervyn perera Friday, 27 March 2015 05:43 PM

Karranagoda amd Roshan Goonetileke should be promoted field marshall for plundering the nations and stealing and for all wrong doings under Mara mahindas regime.

Don Don Friday, 27 March 2015 07:14 PM

When he was the president of SLRFU, an airforce rugby player pulled out a T56 riffle at Nittawala Grounds and fired to the media pavilion after a match. No investigation done.
