Nothing will happen to these two criminals. Remember during Nishantha Wickramasinghe’s time all these money laundrying took place. They both will be admitted to hospital and then they can go home
Prez Gota, with you sire we see ourselves finally having a leader with a vision and passion for the nation to take to us forward….as such sire, please ensure no political interference is allowed to be brought here in favor of these accused, these alleged fat-cat criminals, to get them ‘off the hook’ but that you personally ensure justice will take its due and fair course.

Andrade.
Or who ever the fu__ you are. You just can not stop displaying your blatant bias and your lack of intelligence . No one gives rat’s arse about your stupid comments becsuse they are coming out if the wrong end.
Stanley, this is not the only ID that’s here spewing false and malicious propaganda and fake news here in the comments. There are a couple of others here too and I see they come with Sinhalese names but evidently they are all undercover separatist and/or jihadist rats. As for this, he/she thinks we are all brain-dead morons to listen to his/her crap.
Andrada: “We know who they are; one is currently visiting New Delhi” – So you cunning but retarded brain (for uttering childish ka-ka here), so you have evidence of this, evidence that even the former rotten Yahapalanaya leaders (who were on a do-or-die political witch hunt, the only thing they did over 5 years, to the point of even corrupting the CID of the nation and bringing it into their pocket like a play toy), could not find despite even involving foreign police/forensic forces uh?
Wow, tell me Andrada, do you recall how delicious was the rabid dog milk you had as a child? Hehehe…
All that aside, certainly it looks there are some other ‘big wigs’ to this massive scandal other than this husband+wife duo, but now that this is in the international arena, it’s good to know it will be impossible on whoever’s part to sweep it under the rug! Super!
