It is reported that files compiled by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on the fraudulent and corrupt activities of former MP and close associate of the Rajapaksa family, Sajin Vaas Gunewardena and former Chairman of the Sri Lanka Port Authority, Priyath Bandu have disappeared.
The CID, upon completing investigations, had handed over the aforementioned files to the Attorney General’s Department in March 2015 for legal action.
Since the AG’s department had remained silent on this matter, the President too had reminded them. However, it was revealed that the Attorney General’s department seems to be the agency that is hindering the prosecution of Sajin Vaas and Priyath Bandu.
Furthermore, it is learnt that the Deputy Solicitor Generals of the AG’s department have been ignoring the Attorney General’s instructions and delaying legal action.
It is also reported that Sajin Vaas has even been provided protection from the Ministerial Security Division (MSD) by a powerful Minister of the Yahapalana government.
