Colombo Additional Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali today released retired Major Neville Wanniarachchi, after he surrendered to the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court today.

The ex-Chief Security Officer (CSO) of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa has five cases of corruption filed against him. He was fined Rs. 1,000 per each case.

The Bribery Commission filed five corruption cases in the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court against Major Wanniarachchi over non-declaration of assets and liabilities.

The law in this country is a bloody joke.

There are no words for me to express my deep frustration on these types of mockery in the justice system of srilanka. This country has gone beyond the no return point.

What a joke, this decision will encourage people to cheat and then they have to pay a small fine. Don't we require foreign judges?

Park Tuesday, 06 March 2018 06:11 PM

The cost of conducting the inquiries and the case would have cost more than this fine. What a joke! Should our judges be sent to Pakistan or Maldive Islands to be trained?
