33 million is much less than the Central Bank bond scam?

Hi Sharon. Are you a stewardess?

When I see Basil the crooks face I want to vomit. What a shameless man, who does he think he is to use the boys from the forces to dress him and his stupid cheap wife. What he is getting is not enough....gallows is the fit place for him

At this rate, it looks like prison is going to be the first house of the whole Rajapakse family.

The GodFather Friday, 15 July 2016 04:10 PM

True, but there are businessmen who used Basil to earn a profit by giving him a commission, including a well known contractor who obtained jobs without proper tender procedures, what will happen to them?

Nimal Friday, 15 July 2016 04:05 PM

So yahapalanya is for one side? What about the CB case? Hirunika, Patali, Rajitha, Mervin etc? No action?

ananda Friday, 15 July 2016 03:40 PM

This man is mega fraudster. He should be sent to jail on successful prosecution. via DM Android App

Nimal Friday, 15 July 2016 03:36 PM

Then why did he come back. He went for treatment didn't he? If he was guilty fine, What about the crooks in parliament now holding minister portfolios?

KondeThe ministers must not say anything about who should be arrested. The should keep their mouths shut. It's up to the police and judiciary to decide who should be arrested and tried.
