Former minister Basil Rajapaksa has arrived to the Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) to give a statement regarding the misappropriation of state funds and a financial transaction taken place at the Divi Neguma Department, Police spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekara said.

The FCID indicted former minister Rajapaksa for misappropriation of state funds, spending Divi Neguma funds for the propaganda campaign of the past presidential election and several other irregularities.
Rajapaksa, who left for the US soon after the presidential elections, arrived in the country yesterday.

Grilling alone is insufficient. There has to some action for these corrupt politicians.

Gokaraya Thursday, 23 April 2015 12:55 PM

Also grill him to the bottom to know how Jeyaraj Fernadopulle was assassinated?? He might turn to be a an approval.

He has finally realized that USA will not be a safe heaven for him.

Grilling only enough????? Need more.....

Sylvia Haik Wednesday, 22 April 2015 06:57 PM

The only Rajapakse worthy of recognition is the strong principled D A Rajapakse. It is difficult to believe he fathered these crooks

when we can eat from the grill

Agree. This grilling looks scary but just means asking some questions. And after that nothing happens. Perhaps these committees should receive some more time to prepare things?

His volunteer appearance before the authority after coming all the way from USA should be appreciated and gives an indication that he has viable grounds to vindicate himself from all the charges which mushroomed due to the change of the govt..

ALL THESE DAYS HE HAS BEEN PLANNING WHAT TO SAY AND GET OUT OF THIS MESS

THE NEWS COULD BE MORE PALATABLE IF FCID COULD OPT FOR WORD BBQ INSTEAD OF GRILL

On his return this man made a statement, that the Rajapaksa family in 30 years of there political life has never ever robbed public money.

Nihal Amarasekera Wednesday, 22 April 2015 11:36 AM

At lease let this big one be grilled properly @ high temperature for it to be palatable.

Honesty is not a common trait among Sri Lankan politicians. They will go to any length to fill their own coffers even to the detriment of the country.This is why SL is still so far behind other nations, even behind Vietnam.

So this victory obtained by our herious...not by MR or defense secretary staying Ac room and giving command. I do not understand why still our peope can not understand this. MR is not a god

Saman Wednesday, 22 April 2015 12:02 PM

Shan Wednesday, 22 April 2015 11:59 AM

The public is tired of listening to investigations and grills, show to the public actions taken against the culprits. Otherwise public will loose trust on these grills.
