There are some sharks in Parliament and police too, when are they going to nabbed. There is also another bunch that are not touched who are part of the Rajapakse clan. The ones arrested are the ones who are not bribing the corrupt politicians. Why has Alles and Tennakoon suddenly decided to go after these criminals, is it only they could do this? Or is this a master plan in view of the upcoming elections and also to justify Tennakoons appointment? Surely there are much better police offices who could have and who were willing to tackle this issue isn't it? Isn't Tennakoon part of the same game too? And isn't Tiran Alles a beneficiary of drug money too according to Pandora papers? Tennakoon have court courses pending, how can he be an acting IGP? Isn't there a conspiracy to all these?

How about kudu Lanza? How about the 40 or so major importers? They are protected by the Ranil rajapaksa criminal syndicate.

Oh what a comedy drama this is. When we could easily settle our entire foreign exchange problem by seizing the assets of politicos already named in Pandora and Panama papers and some very obvious ones not yet exposed and other VIPs not yet probed, this is like seizing a penny from a million pounds lying around.

Confiscated assets believed to have been earned through drug trafficking. How can you confiscate without having evidence. What about Tiran,Lanza and Nmal. We believe they did same. Arrest and confiscate the assets too. This is more like protecting the government and pro government drug traffickers while erasing the others to get rid of drug competiton. One should investigate if some of the imf officers are also involved in drug trafficking.

JO! and MK! Are you not happy that so many culprits are being nabbed along with goods? When time comes, the big fish and whales too may fall in the trap let us hope. This is when small fish become agitated that they are being cornered while big one are running free.

The policemen should avoid stealing funds and assets of those who have worked hard. Police must only take into custody the illegal drugs, some of the Policemen are also criminals and only look for Cash and Gold to steal.
