While informing the Secretary Justice that the extradition request of Arjun Mahendran is still pending, Attorney General Dappula de Livera said a clarification note was provided to the Singapore Attorney General today over the extradition matter.

Coordination Officer of the Attorney General State Counsel Nishara Jayarante said the clarification note was sent following the discussions held with the Singapore Attorney General with regard to the extradition of Mahendran.

She said the Singapore Government was still considering the extradition request.

Arjuna Mahendran has been wanted to Sri Lanka in connection with the Central Bank bond scam.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs forwarded the extradition request on Arjuna Mahendran, to the Sri Lankan High Commission in Singapore last year in September. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

    This is good move why not arrest Cabraal who robbed 10740 million

    Hony. AG, this man will never set foot in this Country as long as Ranil is alive.

    TT Friday, 04 December 2020 11:01 PM

    Arjun has been met by Ranil several times, he must have been advised by his attorney on how to escape from this criminal act, giving him more time, losing our grip. Mr. Ronnie Bugger seems absolutely accurate in his statement.

    Not enough evidence, That's how all the court cases are heard and culprits are released.

    Looking at what is happening to the persons under custody, no country will extradite anyone to Sri Lanka. Waste of time and money

    Before the election, the government vowed to pursue legal action against him, but after one year we hear this news and I challenge the government to bring him to Sri Lanka.

    Yes, AG must do something. Otherwise, My3 signatures will be in vain.

    brainmaster Saturday, 05 December 2020 12:12 PM

    he is a citizen of Singapore, they will never extradite him

    Mueez Saturday, 05 December 2020 12:30 PM

    Though the attempt is genuine, the procedures are in order not a single foreign government will trust system and honesty. We have been isolating ourselves from rest of the world by just trying to appease very few back at home. In this scenario I wonder the Singapore government take this issue seriously.
