I struck a deal through Dudley – Dhanasiri says after returning home!

Feb 14, 2017

Dehiwala-Mt. Lavinia former mayor Dhanasiri Amaratunga recently returned home after in hiding in the US and several other countries. He returned from Los Angels together with ex-defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. His facebook page has several pictures he has taken with Gotabhaya in LA.

Amaratung had to flee the country after the CID began an investigation into a double murder at the Dehiwala-Mt. Lavinia municipal council premises over a meat stall tender in 2007. Yesterday (13), at the invitation of multimillionaire businessman Dhammika Perera, he participated as chief guest in the opening of Valibal Finance Nugegoda branch. He is now saying to his friends that he has been able to strike a deal through Dudley Sirisena, Perera’s good friend and the president’s brother.

Soon after Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka gave a statement to the CID, Gotabhaya left for the US. Fonseka’s lengthy statement is an earth-shaking one, reports say. What has transpired so far from his statement is only that former Army intelligence chief Kapila Hendawitharana was responsible for the grenade attack on senior lawyer Weliamuna’s home in 2008. However, Dudley has promised Amatunga and Gotabhaya not to fear anything as long as he was there. Dudley and members of the Sri Lanka Rice Mill Owners Association, which he heads, were seen having a breakfast meeting at JAIC Hilton in Colombo today. Witnesses remarked, “This is a country which is having a Rs. 100 price for a kilo of rice after electing a rice mill owner as the president.”
