Allegations of corruption and sabotage of investigations have dogged Senior DIG Ravi Waidyalankara who heads the Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) tasked with handling some of the most high profile investigations into financial misappropriation by top officials in the Mahinda Rajapaksa administration.
DIG Ravi Waidyalankara
As FCID Head for the past four years Waidyalankara has built dubious relationships with some of the country’s best known fraudsters and wheeler dealers, including Rienzie Edwards the Sri Lankan businessman indicted on money laundering charges in the US, Gamini Senarath – former Chief of Staff to President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Sajin Vaas Gunewardane who is implicated in several major corruption scandals and misappropriation during the Rajapaksa era.
But SDIG Waidyalankara has also built relationships at the highest levels of the former Rajapaksa family and is believed to be actively working to sabotage the work of his own unit in order to protect the members of the former first family, chief among these former Secretary to the ministry of defence Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
In November 2017 the Attorney General wrote to the FCID authorising the arrest of Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s arrest in D.A. Rajapaksa Memorial and Museum case. The offences Rajapaksa was to be indicted under were non-bailable offences under the Public Property Act.
The D.A. Rajapaksa Museum case investigated by the FCID centered on the use of state funds to build a memorial for Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s parents. The investigation revealed that the Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation had spent millions of rupees to build the museum in Medamulana, on land owned by the D.A Rajapaksa Foundation. The Corporation was a subject under the then Ministry of Defence and Urban Development, under Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Sri Lanka Navy personnel were used to construct the memorial. The case is a classic illustration of how the Rajapaksa regime used public monies to fund a private construction directly linked to the ruling family.
Waidyalankara however delayed making the arrest for several days, despite his instructions from the Attorney General, giving Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s legal team sufficient time to file a writ application in the Court of Appeal to get an order preventing his arrest by the FCID in the D.A. Rajapaksa case. The order was granted by a Court of Appeal bench who heard the case ex-parte without the AG present to object to arguments raised by Gotabaya’s legal team.
The D.A. Rajapaksa museum case marks the first time Gotabaya Rajapaksa will stand trial on charges of corruption. He stands accused of misappropriating over 30 million rupees in state funds, criminal breach of trust and other offences.
SDIG Waidyalankara is currently under investigation by the Bribery Commission, about his accumulation of assets and the Police Special Investigations Unit. In spite of the ongoing investigations the head of the FCID was granted a service extension of eight months in May 2018, when he reached the retirement age of 60. His extension was opposed by the IGP and the National Police Commission. (By Ramani Bulathgamuwa)

Exposé: Sirisena-Wickremesinghe Intervene To Protect Corrupt FCID Chief Cop
Vanangamudi / February 22, 2019
The ordinary man in the street must by now realise the Judicial, Law and Order machinery – that protected him for centuries – has collapsed – nay, deliberately destroyed is a better description. As to the more initiated in middle and upper middle class society they know their safe world has been destroyed by gangsters and wholesale thieves masquerading as political leaders.
What a sad fate to befall a once fine society, a beautiful isle and a united country – long the envy of the region? Who is to blame – majoritarianism, a politicised religious hierarchy, socio-economic decay,
a collapsed society. You name it. How did we become a lawless, divided country?

And he never bent his head seeking impunity. Even today, he is ready for any kind of interogations.

But can anybody please tell me, why SO CALLED patriots by every facets Rajaakshes, abuse the law.?

Besides, Gotabaya aka GOTLER left the country seeking greener pastures to the US at the time, the BRUTAL war was at its heights. Nevertheless, they misled the very same punnakku eaters and PAINTED the picture them to be MORE patriotic than for example Sarath Fonseka or the like SENIOR men, that narrowly escape from the bombs set by rebells.

Babanpunchi@,
.
All hat no callte
.
1) I guess few weeks ago (already 4 weeks passed) incumbent president promised the nation he would clear it with a CID report on alleged ASSASINATION plot of him and Gotler -but this has now been extended week by week
That NAMAL KUMARA (provable man to have violated Navy or Airforce job and consequently was droven away from his previous jobs) is further being used to cover up the BIG LIE
Assasination plot is the redhering to divert the attention of people for the moment.
Not a single provable issue is found to prove the credibility of the accusation yet today – former minister of Law and order Madduma Bandara made public statement on this over the past few weeks.
.
2 . Current defence secretary made also a public statment and also we had a discussion on his also on CT platform, there he promised to bring a public statement about the culprits in forces to have committed crimes, but this obviously delays deliberately.
.
3. And they dont care abou tthe INVESIGATIONS of Rajaakshes that waited long for final veridcts- SORRYSENA himself stands on his way blocking any investigations and their continuations.
.
4.All these prove not MAKANDURE MADHUSH but President HIMSelf to be the first to be HUNG as being the MOST DANGEROUS criminal before the VERY SAME NATION.
Please add your hearted thoughts about the comment. Thanks.

who is to be blamed ?
.
1) Lanken people
See, yet today, if an election would have been held tomorrow. Rascals dominated parties will score it.
If gifts would have been distibuted, close to the elections – lanken folks would easily fall in to their prey.
Lanken elections – the crucial factor is MAJORATARIAN votes – sinhala punnaku eating majority should be made accoutable to have reelected them on and on.
:
Please do some own survey on Social MEDIA comments – grasseaters/punnaku eaters are the majority. Their comments formulated in uncouth sinhala langauge reveal their zeo political literacy They are made permament BLUE FLIES (නිලමැස්සො)usually found on cadava/heaps of excreta
–
And dont ever underestimate – MEDIA mudalalis behave like ziamesian twins of most abusive Rajapakshes and their kith and kin: Govt was changed by 2015, but MEDIA mafia held supportive to keep the opinion on Rajaakshes, even developed by abusing the more freedom given into press.

2)So called SINHALA BUDDHISM/catholic/Islam
Sivuru wearing MONKS are fallen to any tricks being played by any vicious politicians today. Most of them and their political literacy is under zero level.
Just interview yourself so called MALWATHU chapter and Colombo Rajaguru Ranjith- and the like STUPID religious heads, they behave like parrots… not having studied them properly.

3) International Community
They should constantly put more pressure on LAW AND ORDER issues, not allowing false promises to be repeated

Rajapakshe politics (be them Mahinda, Gotabaya or anyone in that family) feeds off racism.
So, no point of talking about sustainable peace and harmony, if tamil parties would ever want Rajapakshes to return.
:
This message should also be clear to MUSLIM parties. During the last 4 years, except 1 single issue, there had been no riots on muslim communities as routinized by Rajapakshe regime prior to 2015. Halal issue was what they made out of nothing to show the world, that lanken differences between ethnics groups are wider than the IC ever guess.

Whatever said about Sarath Fonseka, I always felt he was the best man for the job. No wonder he was sabotaged left, right and center. The Rajapakse’s fear him because he will go for their jugular. So they have unleashed their proxies on him. The shit will hit the fan if the special high court convicts GR. Yesterday he tried a another desperate move . But his appeal filed seeking permission to file an appeal in the Supreme Court challenging the Permanent High Court-at-Bar’s decision to overrule their preliminary objections regarding the D. A. Rajapaksa Museum case were also rejected by Permanent High Court-at-Bar.

citizen Perera / February 22, 2019
As long as Ranil is there, an utterly corrupt leader, no Rajapakse will be brought before justice. He will make sure that all cases are manipulated. Ranil is the biggest traitor to the country as well the major factor responsible for the downfall of UNP. What is pathetic is he does not feel at all the pulse of the people. His handling of the Arjun Mahendran aptly describes his character. Unless UNP elects another sane leader, its downfall is imminent.
/
Good Sense / February 22, 2019
So whenever GR talks to RW the SDIG, and/or vice-versa, does the latter address him as “Heil Gottler!”? Everyone knows the form of salutation in Nazi Germany. In TinTin books there is a scenario where in a particular fictitious country the form of salutation was “Amaih! Kurvitasch!”. All are signs of a one man show. Not long ago the fanatics used to salute as “Suba Anagathayak” instead of the traditional salutation of “Ayubowan”. But my problem with the whole story of RW the SDIG is that those knowledgeable knew of this all along and why must this come out now? Of course better late than never. But the delay is unpardonable.

Every where Ranil touched IT is stinking. during his entire 4 years as the 4th and 5th PM (Because he doe snot quit when he was caught pants down) everything has some thing wrong with it. HE appointed Set up FCID, He appointed a Central Bank governor and a finance Minister. He took over the Central bank under him. That was a disaster. Now, I hear some supreme court Judges are ready to sue the Constitutional council which is very corrupt and has done everything against the interests of the country, particularly, continuously some judges had been left without being promoted. In one case, One supreme court judge had been promoted over FIVE other senior judges. The common denominator for all those had been those unappointed Judges had been buddhists. The education system we had was Brtish. They have christianized it by letting More private schools. Now, Ranil says he is going to change the whole education system. that is, eventually, there won’t be O/L instead the Primary education has that every one should finish education by going to 13th grade. They also want to destroy the 26 A grade schools that Sri lanka has. Then they say they build buildings and the new concept is CLosest school is the best. So, later they can say UNP did it. Mahinda Rajapakse also did something like that by LEtting apparael manufacturing rural indsutry go to dogs becasue RP began it. RANUL;S BAD KARMA AGAINST THE COUNTRY IS ENDLESS. A LONG LIST.

It is useless crying over “Spilt Milk”. One good lesson, all voters now know and learned is: All these political brutes of UNP, SLFP & SLPP and their “Leaders” are all in one “CAMP” where the “guiding policy” is: “You scratch my back, I will scratch your back” Time has come to say and name all these bastards and title them as “SRI LANKA OUTLAWS”. There is glimpse of hope in the newly formed “National Intellectuals Organization (NIO) and I believe this could be made a “Spring Board” to bring in a “New Era” in the political set up of the country. What a tragedy to see, this very titled to be “Sri Lanka Outlaw” “GOTA” has formed a similar organization called “Viyathmaga” with “ROUGES” accused and charged in Courts, (e.g. Nalaka Godahewa) to “PROMOTE” him (GOTA) to be the next “President” of the country. Isn’t it a worse tragedy to see even the “ASGIRIYA” chapter of “Buddhist Cult” promoting “GOTA” titled as “Hitler” to be the President of the country? Now ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It is time to turn to a NEW CHAPTER now written in the “Road Map” by NIO and decide on a new President for the country. I strongly feel that Prof. S.J . Yogarajah of the Kelaniya University is the most suitable and eminent to be “PROMOTED” to be the next President. Have HOPES and please don’t give up.

” The order was granted by a Court of Appeal bench who heard the case ex-parte without the AG present to object to arguments raised by Gotabaya’s legal team. “
Is the AG prevented the arrest or the F word CID’s Chief prevented the arrest?
Probably, the museum case might be the weakest and smallest theft. So Ranil schedule it to go first to cheat the UNHRC and West in their request to arrest and punish Old Royals. Ranil wanted it to be dragged until he decides whether he should give up his PM position to Old King. That has gone wrong. Ranil used Mangala to deal with the $18B case. Then Mangala passed new law and saved the Old Royals out of it. This case is nothing for Mangala and Ranil to save Old Brother Prince.
When the case was scheduled, four judges backed off. Why? Not to punish Old Brother Prince? When the case start judges will do some jugglery and declare mistrial. Some or how he has to save to stand in the EP election like Baboon de Silva did in Help Hambantota.

Police Dept…Judiciary. As a result these shameless acts by a President the Country is suffering…

Lankan: You are on track. This is exactly what we MUST do. I have pointed towards a “DIRECTION” in my comment. Please read it. Together in ONE VOICE, we must go for a “NEW CHANGE – the only answer.

This article is wrong. I think I am correct to say that , One Time Thilak Marapana was the justice minister and the second time wijedasa Rajapakse was the Justice minister. I heard the courts are holding about 50 cases without hearing suspected to be the order or Ranil appointed AG who was given promotions by Ranil himself over a few other suitable seniors. In the parliament thieves are accusing other 224 saying you all know you all are not good people and have the same baggage as me. They do not prosecute because that will catch the whole 225. So, ask people to finish them by voting.

JD you may be correct. The answer for us is to get rid of all the 225 in the Parliament. It’s a mammoth surreal task to achieve. But with determination anything can be achieved .
That’s PEOPLE POWER. Any one out there?? for this ?
Including you JD??
