The government will seek Interpol assistance in case former Central Bank Governor, Arjuna Mahendran, does not return to Sri Lanka to support the investigations into the Central Bank bond issue, UPFA General Secretary Mahinda Amaraweera said yesterday.
“It was me who first made a complaint with the Bribery Commission against the bond scam. The fight against the bond issue culprits was carried out with the blessings of the President. However, we will not let anyone sweep this scam under the carpet,” he said.
Speaking at an opening ceremony in Hambanthota, Amaraweera said they doubted they would need Interpol assistance. “Maybe Mr. Mahendran left the country for a personal matter, but some people suspect he fled the country. However, if he believes that he is innocent he will cooperate with the investigation,” the General Secretary said.

dear sir. Please keep the word no matter what. Before going to Interpol, you must file a case against the crooks including Arjun.( Not only Arjun)

So now the clouds are moving away and we begin to see a clear picture. So all this time the former Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka was shielded by no other that the PM and his cronies. Action should be taken on all these rouges. The PM need to resign with immediate effect also with the tainted ministers.

What are your plans for rogues and criminals in your party. Especially the family. This is not the only crime happened in the recent past.

The PM should be held as surety for the return of Mahendran. Wonder why the ardent defender of Mahendran is now silent !

You cant dont anything!! Interpol is useless if Arjun goes to a country which is not a member of Interpol. Further, Arjun can at any moment relieve his Sri Lankan citizenship as he is also a citizen of Singapore and then you will need to file extradition case in Singapore and Singapore government will have to agree to that before anything can happen.. Good Luck!!

The cours refused to issue an international warrant on former SL Ambassador to Ukraine until lately, when there was clear evidence against him . This is cheap politics.

Where were you during the Greek Bond issue? This is a victory for the people of SL. Not a political party victory
