Where is due process? Doesn't the decision rest with a court of law? Were the alleged owners given an opportunity ti defend?

How about confiscating the billions laundered by the politicians

So Police in Sri Lanka have become the Judge and the Jury under Deshabandu or they have become thugs themselves?

It's easy to plant evidence to help confiscate assets, how trustworthy are police these days?, needs to be monitored by separate entity

Whose vehicles?

If you catch Rajapakshas and Ranathungas , that amount could be well in excess of Rs 110 billions.

Sambo Friday, 29 March 2024 08:08 PM

The judge will order it to be given back to the rightful owner. Chapter

What happened to the Malwana Palace and the expense incurred? What about Daisy Achis bag of Gems?

One for me, one for you, one for the treasury. Oops sorry; wrong division. Start again, two for me, one for you, one resold to owner, one for the treasury, one for me to pay tax. Ok, correct formula.
