    Sri Lanka lost billions of dollars and vital revenue because of this money laundering system.

    They lost this money because the government pegged the dollar. Even today, the black market rate is higher than the dollar offered at the banks.

    better send it with the "Raja" system out of the country. The system has proved working for the last twenty years

    because of these crooks only we faced this crisis! Jail them with high penalty

    Yes with Kaputas gone, you should arrest these guys and get the money. Jail term and money is confisticated. Kaputas was supporting this because he could use the same channel.

    Arresting a $50,000 is nothing comparing to €1.5million swindled by Namal and his friend in the Hospital scandal. Touch him first before these petty ignorable issues and showing us boru shows!

    Western countries regulate but allowed Undiyal system because they know money stays in their country rather than leaving via banking system. Just arresting will not help as this system based on trust as there is no known links! Someone will phone you and ask you to collect from a location or visit home to deliver. You don’t know who they are!
