The ‘Salaka Regino’ casino that was raided by the organized crime investigation unit of the police on November 04 has been reopened, reports say.
It has been reopened on November 11 , closed on 12 and opened again yesterday (13).
Despite the said casino being raided often by police, reopening it each time has become a normal incident.
Responding
to an inquiry made by ' Sri Lanka Mirror' regarding the ownership of
the casino a senior police officer stated that it is owned by the wife
of the famous businessman Lucky Neththikumara , Vajira Neththikumara.
(One
of Vajira and Lucky's daughters is married to S.B Dissanayake's son and
the other daughter is married to former Minister Festus Perera's son
Niroshan Perera.)
He further revealed
that the casino is reopened every time its raided as an individual
related to national security is backing them.
He rejected the rumor that a wife of a minister owns the casino.
During the raid, 43 persons, including several top Army officials had been arrested.
However,
even before 24 hours passed following the raid 23 police officers
attached to organized crime investigation unit who were involved in the
raid have been transferred with immediate effect as a government bigwig
is involved in it, said the Chairman of the UNP leadership council, Karu
Jayasuriya in a statement released.
