The Financial Crimes Investigations Division has commenced investigations into the multi million rupees worth Carlton Sports Network (CSN) office at Denzil Kobbekaduwa Mawatha in Battaramulla.
Yoshitha
Officials of the FCID, along with officials from the valuation department inspected the building on Wednesday, which was reportedly constructed at a cost of Rs. 200 million, which is owned by the Rajapaksa Memorial Foundation.
According to sources, the investigation will look into how the Rajapaksa Memorial Foundation amassed the finances to construct a building of such magnitude.
In February, Yoshitha Rajapaksa, along with Nishantha Ranatunga, Rohan Weliwita and two others were remanded for allegedly being involved in money laundering at CSN. Yoshitha had reportedly functioned as the chairman of the channel. He is currently out on bail.

FCID is totally useless. What happened to Avant Guard inquiry? What happened to all the corruption investigation at Carleton Sports, Basil’s looting of Divineguma funds?
FCID has never finish a single investigation and have never prosecuted and jailed a single corrupt politician.
All the Jarapasa brothers and sons should have been locked up by now, instead Ayahapalanaya has an Obese Cabinet of clowns.
Mahinda Jarapassa is sitting happily in the Parliament of Corrupt morons and continues to suck out of the public purse.
TIme to shut this useless joke called FCID which is a circus and waste of money down!

FCID has already done several cases and CID too. But even people in the government are not in favour on both. Most of their investigations are against the politician who are in SLFP and now joining My3.
Above all still the AG department which should take the action is full of MR supporters. That was what MR did during his period.
This country will go to dogs if Government is not capable of implementing the rule of the law.

Nimal,
You are correct. Any of the MR’s henchmen who are guilty in the swindle have all the incentive to switch to M3’s side, and M3 is happy to turn a blind eye if that helps get more to abandon MR’s camp!
The proverbial mutual back scratching at its peak performance!!
God save this blessed nation!!!

Kapila, is it possible that Mr Clean, if you don’t know that’s the Prime Minister, is not clean after all?
After all if he wants to see justice is done, as a lawyer he should know, find one criminal act done by Rajapakse that is easy to prove in the Courts, and after the verdict, shove the bastard in jail. Among the thousands of criminal acts is it so difficult to find just one that’s easy to prove? All other criminal acts can be investigated at leisure but conclude before the jail time expires, institute criminal cases, secure multiple life terms after conviction, and dump him at Welikada.
Why does Ranil shy away from this course of action? Why is it necessary to wait until every fucking allegation is disposed of to file criminal proceedings against the Rajafucks?
Doesn’t this default tell you that Ranil is a substantial partner in crime?
About Sirisena really there is nothing much to say. He has a weak personality with a humongous appetite for wealth suppressed and suppressed over decades. Probably after January 8 2015 he has been made owner of some of the overseas bank accounts that hold the looted dollars. So the guy is acting stupid for PR purposes.

We need a headline to jump up and down with the Headline saying that. ” JARAPUSSAS HAD BEEN FOUND GUILTY AND SENT TO SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES IN WELIKADA. “

Former Prez talks a lot about how he woudl do better etc. Why he failed to raise his own children in a good way ? A President who failed from the begning on, a father who failed from day 01 on. So, what more we need to study on Rajaakshe uthumano ?

CT is it another of your tricks showing red rag to the Bull??
Nothing seem to happen with this FCID but CT comes out with some sensational headlines to trick the fools commenting here , then everything goes silent.
CT are you joking or really serious. We will celebrate only when you come up with the HEADLINE MR ,GR, NR, SR, BR HAVE ALL BEEN FOUND GUILTY AND ARRESTED OF ALL THEIR CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST THE SRILANKAN CITIZENS BY MURDERING AND STEALING STATE FINANCES.
The Ex Prezz Have had another round of desperate meeting with our crooked PM yesterday.

what about the the issue that this boy to have bought some properties under the name of his one of the grand mothers. Yes yes, abusive men seem to have dozens of grand mas and pas. This was reported in the lanken media few days ago.

Shantha / April 7, 2016
Yes, we would like to know how they got million of rupees, to invest, and spend. They must come from a VERY wealthy family. It sounds like they own gold mines, from the way they went around using those millions.
Sri Lankans would like to know how to achieve such wealth too, and how to stash it away, where no one
can find it.
Perhaps the Rajapaksa’s can have free seminars teaching us how to obtain millions of rupees. That is the least they can do for us.

Funlover / April 7, 2016
Shantha
Oh no. It is a simple task to unearth looted and repatriated money. Arrest the suspect, and ask to explain, where the billions to purchase came from. No answer: shove in jail pending investigation. No bail. Hundreds of reasons can be given to the court to refuse bail.
Why is this procedure not followed? Rani and Sirisena must be in the pay of the Rajaf(p)ucks.

Is there any point in these probes at all? end of the day Ranil the PM will shape things up as usual and these fellows go scot free
/
Tamil from the north / April 7, 2016
This government appears to be full of hot air. How many probes and no one has been charged especially from the ParayaPaksa family.
/
Barathan / April 7, 2016
There is a Tamil saying; “Distracting a child that cries by showing the moon”. The Sri Lankan population was crying for justice and punishment for the culprits. Some spurious probes are cited to pacify the aggrieved. That’s all and nothing besides. Whom is the government trying to diddle? For how long is this cheat?
What progress on Thajudeen murder and Yositha’s innocence or complicity?

Mahinda Percy came to London to participate in the graduation of his son Yoshitha.
It was not an official visit. The British Foreign Office was not informed and no meetings arranged with the British Ministers. He came with a contingent of pandakarayas.
The question is who paid the cost of Mahinda’s extravagant expenditure on his private visit. Why did he allow the Sri Lankan Airways to give him and his team to travel free- a special treatment?
The British qualification of Yoshitha only made him a pimp. Why should the taxpayers of SL suffer. Look at the state of Sri lankan Airlines. It has been brought to its knees by the day light robbery by Rajapakse family.
Do not forget. Even Gota smuggled special dogs from the west thus exploiting the Sri Lankan airlines.
Did GL Pieris pay all his fares to the Sri Lankan Airlines?
The Sri Lanka media without going hard on these, is playing its dirty games to promote this sickening family bandits and the suckers.

The main beneficiaries of Young Yoshitha’s UK training were the east European bints around South Devon.
The cost of the trip is reflected in the huge losses made by SriLankan following ‘Hillgate’.
Prosecution; don’t hold your breath.

Ranil and Sirisena protecting the Ex President and the extended family and so far none of the Investigations has seen the light at the end of the tunnel. All 6.2 million who voted are disgusted with the current regime. The sooner the investigations are not completed its gonna be disaster for Yahapalanaya. I totally agree 100 percent K SUNDARAM”S comment well done!!
Joint opposition and the yellow robed monks are all on the pay roll of the Jarapaksas and the media has no gall to question all the frauds committed by the previous regime instead planting questions to suit the ex President.
/
Indra / April 7, 2016
It has been reported that several investigations against the Rajaf(p)ucks have been completed. CT included. Interesting not one single Mahana Yaka riding in Mercedez Benz luxury has questioned Ranil or Sirisena why they have not filed a single criminal case against even a single Rajaf(p)uck.
CT can we expect such a question from you in the near future?

In 1967/68 Mahinda Rajapaksa got a job at the Vidyodaya University as a Library Assistant. His salary in toto was Rs.180/= per month. Did Chandrika or Ranil did a job to earn Rs.180/= a month. They didn’t as their parents have provided enough for them. Mahinda’s had to do a job earning a paltry Rs. 180/= per month as his parents did not have the means to feed them. His elder brother Chamal had to become a policeman for the same reason. It is said that in the 1960 s Mahinda’s father’s election expenses were met by Sirimavo. That was precarious financial position of the mighty Rajapaksa’s at that time. Even in the early 2000 their finances all-round was bad. Even his marriage did not provide him any worthwhile finances. In fact they became a liabilities to him. Mahinda got a windfall thanks to Tsunami- Rs.83 million that he stole and when found out was given a life-line by Sarath Nanda Silva in his infamous verdict. His 2005 election was financed by Mervyn Silva’s drug money. That’s how MATHATA THITHA came into effect. So, the Mahinda and his family had no money at all to finance their massive projects TSN etc. BLOODY ROUGES
/
Saman / April 8, 2016
Nothing to investigate and argue.
Everyone knows that Mahinda, his brothers and his three son have stolen public money.
They have committed numerous crimes.
No need to take long time to investigate and come to the conclusion.
Even current president and prime minister along with ministers and parliamentarians try to conceal them.
/
Leelagemalli / April 8, 2016
But Saman, there are still siginifcant fraction in the society that would stay intoxicated rather than making efforts to realize the truth. Typical srilankens – that only see sobanya -surface values only.

Who freed Indika Karunajeewa and his wife Shadia Karunajeewa from the much publicised CSN probe. It is said that both of them have fled to Melbourne with their children, anticipating trouble, if continued to live in Sri Lanka.
/
Gabriel / June 6, 2016
Namal must have packed Indika Karunajeewa off to Melbourne. Because if they catch Indika Karunajeewa it will be as good as imprisoning Namal. However, it is pathetic that Yahapalanaya has set him free with his family to enjoy a good life in a foreign land with robbed money from Sri Lanka. He is well known to have made the biggest deals with Namal. I hope Interpol brings him back to face the charges
