Yoshitha Rajapaksa, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s son was arrested by the FCID a short while ago, Navy Spokesman Captain Akram Alevi said. He said Mr. Rajapaksa would be produced before the Kaduwela Magistrate soon.

A few days ago, Chief Government Whip Gayantha Karunatilleke told Parliament that the Navy would take action against Lieutenant Rajapaksa based on the advice of the President's office in the wake of the recommendations made by the tripartite committee.

He also said that some Rs.16 million had been spent by the state for his training in Britain and Ukraine.

This is just a show off .Rajapaksa met Mathri so this is to cover up from other crimes committed including Ruby player killing. There a murder crimes against this people

Do the crime do your time. Good lesson for those abusing power. His father was President alright, but he should have been equal with all his colleagues doing everything on merit. He also influenced Navy top brass to take over 150 year old traditional Trinco Harbour Masters bungalow, destroyed tradition. Ditto dharma vedaneeya karma!!

Sad, but acceptable.it seems the judiciary is brave in srilanka at present.

Nadeesha Saturday, 30 January 2016 05:57 PM

Could not his father spend Rs.16 Million which even a Provincial Council member can afford to pay?

Paddy Saturday, 30 January 2016 05:46 PM

This is just a red herring. Arrest him for bigger crimes committed.

lalith de silva Saturday, 30 January 2016 05:36 PM

At last some justice!Hope he will end up in jail rather than in a merchant ward.

Real Peace Saturday, 30 January 2016 05:20 PM

I am pinching myself to believe this! A couple of years ago this would have been utterly unimaginable!!

myraspi Saturday, 30 January 2016 05:17 PM
