Former Minister and MP Mervyn Silva today complained to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) against Former Minister and MP Basil Rajapaksa and former Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa over alleged frauds and crimes committed by them.

Mr. Silva told media soon after making a complaint to the CID that he did not want to take revenge from anyone but it was them who took revenge from him.

“I do not want to take revenge from anyone. They are the ones who took revenge from me. I was not given a proper ministry to work. I came to the CID to complain over all the murders such as Bharatha Laksman Premachandra, Lasantha Wikrametunge and the attacks on several private media institutions. It is Gotabhaya Rajapaksa who was behind the white van culture in the country,” he said.

Mr. Silva alleged that MP Basil Rajapaksa who did not have anything before coming to politics had amassed a massive wealth including several hotels and luxury houses.

He also alleged that Basil Rajapaksa withdrew millions of rupees from the Divi Neguma Bill and used the treasury at their will during the election campaign.

When asked about the allegations leveled against him, Mr. Silva said he was ready to prove his innocence and asked to make any complaint against him.(Sanath Desmond and Ajith Siriwardena)

Many of the politicians in powerful positions during the previous regime in SL were rather ignorant about due process, rules of evidence and rights of individuals to produce witnesses etc This man also needs to be treated to the full extent of the law with no exceptions.

Mr. Mervin ...you have abused media personnel several times using dirty and filthly words in public. Alos you have taken laws into your hand and acted like a dictator in many state instutions in the past.You too should punished for all your wrong doints...

Rufus Norton Saturday, 17 January 2015 08:24 PM

He is a joker alright but he was used for the dirty work and given a free hand to do his own dirty work. Therefore, he has a lot of inside information which he will now bring out to save his skin!

K. Sugathadasa Saturday, 17 January 2015 03:24 PM

Well done. Somebody else should make another complaint to CID against goon Marvin Silva for robbing poor fishmongers, dealing with Kudu, wrong doing taking law to his hand etc..

Akilan Saturday, 17 January 2015 03:32 PM

You too Brutus?. Good that you brought this up though everyone knows from day one.Recently I watched an old interview of Gota where he was very angry for a question in related to Fonseka and he said " i am telling you I will hang Fonseka". How damn fool he was.If any Gota is the only person should face the international court.

Ben Hurling Saturday, 17 January 2015 03:39 PM

Mervin for President. All forgiven.

wow we have a straight talker here. Hope Maithree and Co take action on this. But it is very unlikely. Never in independent sri lanka a politician has taken action against another after a government change

Dan Saturday, 17 January 2015 07:59 PM

I find this man disgusting and repulsive. the media needs to take responsibility for encouraging his foolish stunts just so that they could report news. He is an insult to our country and it s intelligence.
