Proof is in the pudding, even this case proved to be a scam, all the parties involved are Teflon coated another word untouchables, so what's the purpose of wasting all this precious resources on no results.

You guys are forgetting the bigger crook who is none other than The Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Ranil Wickremasinghe who immediately appointed three of UNP lawyer buddies to clear Mahendran and put the blame on poor BOC. The bulk of the ill-gotten money ended up in the UNP coffers.

Government was lying to cover lies, and all of a sudden the helm of financing is exposed. let alone the political impact, who is measuring the impact of countries economy, consumer confidence index and business confidence index is at a all time low. so is government is expecting SL to to bounce back soon? only a miracle would increase cash flow in to Sri Lanka. its only the people are suffering all of them who voted and whom not voted.

It may have been the first time a CB Governor visited the Public Debt dept, however it still does not prove anything. This does not mean I am siding AM, but their needs to be positive direct proof rather than just nostalgic statements, accusations, commission reports asking for further probes etc....
