CID to record statement from Ravindra on funding Navy Sampath

16 Aug 2018

By Easwaran Rutnam The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) is to record a statement from Chief Of Defence Staff Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne over allegations he funded Chandana Hettiaracchi aka Navy Sampath to flee the country, Police sources said. The CID had informed court yesterday that there was mounting evidence to show that Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne had assisted Navy Sampath prior to his arrest this week. Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne had reportedly given Rs. 500,000 when he was the Navy Commander, to Navy Sampath from a Navy bank account. Police sources said that with the court yesterday calling for the bank account to be investigated, the CID is likely to record a statement from Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne in the coming days. Meanwhile, when asked by The Morning if the Navy was conducting a separate investigation into the matter, Navy spokesman Commander Dinesh Bandara said that he has not been given any information to that effect. He also said that he could not comment on any matter which was discussed in court. Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne was appointed Commander of the Navy on 11 July 2015 and in August 2017 he was appointed as the new Chief of Defense Staff.
