Was Arjuna Mahendran aware of the Rajapakse money?

Oct 18, 2015

For many months now and including this week Cabinet Spokesperson Dr Rajitha Senarathne has been saying the government is going to reveal the oversees account details of the Rajapakse family. It is nearly 10 months so far other than the Foreign Minister saying USD $18 Billion was stacked abroad, which nobody with some business sense believed, not even an account number has been released. It has been alleged in many websites that young MP Namal

Rajapakse had his loot at the Emirates NBD Bank or Mashreq Bank in Dubai together with Gamini Senerath and a few others amounting around 1 Billion US Dollars. A one Billion Dollars deposit cannot go unnoticeable in a hurry in a place like Dubai if an Asian held in a Bank where Asians work.

 

Central Bank Chief Arjuna Mahendren a Sri Lankan Tamil who was recently caught up in one of the biggest financial scandals (stillremains unresolved) in Sri Lanka has served as a Chief Investment Officer-Wealth Management division at Emirates NBD. The question therefore is whether Mahendren was aware of this large U$D deposits, especially given the strong connection with his infamous son-in law Arjun Aloysius had with the Rajapakse administration, or did Arjuna Aloysius even introduce the Rajapakses to NBD Bank at a time when Rajapakses looked to reign forever in Sri Lanka through his Father-in-law Mahendren?
