Shayamali Perera, the wife of former Senior DIG Vass Gunawardena, today lodged a complaint at the Bribery Commission against former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa.


In her complaint, Ms. Perera alleged that the former first lady had been involved in a Rs. 500 million worth gold scam involving the Treasury.


“Army Intelligence Unit had informed my husband, when he was in the service that 100 kgs of gold worth Rs. 500 million had been swindled from the Treasury and Shiranthi Rajapaksa was involved in it,” Ms. Perera told journalists outside the Commission.


She charged Senior DIG Anura Senanayake and Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Hudson Samarasinghe of compelling former DIG Gunawardena to cover-up the incident.
