Former Attorney General Dappula de Livera has been informed to appear before the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID) tomorrow to record a statement he had made over the 2019 Easter Sunday bomb attacks.

Police said he was informed to appear before the TID to record a statement regarding his controversial statement of a coup behind the Easter Sunday attacks.

Meanwhile, Justice Minister Dr. Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe also said at a Cabinet briefing that he has informed the Attorney General to record a statement from Dappula de Livera over his statement on the Easter Sunday terror attacks.

In May 2021, a few days before the end of his tenure as the AG, Dappula de Livera said that he is unable to present indictments against the conspirators and abettors of the 2019 Easter Sunday terror attacks within his tenure as the Criminal Investigation Department’s probes are incomplete.

Speaking to the media, the Justice Minister said that Dappula de Livera as the Attorney General at the time should have summoned the Police and ordered them to conduct further investigations if the level of inquiry had been insufficient.(Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

We know during his tenure AG/Police depts. were not in good terms and Police was not co-operating and assisting him on any of the investigations which led him to criticize Police department on so many occasions.As we are aware he is a good servant not abided to any of then rulers arbitrary instructions.

He must be investigated for all his activities Tuesday, 18 April 2023 11:03 PM

Former Attorney was appalling. He made quite a lot of ridiculous statements. He was all about optics, and image, and far removed from reality of what can help the nation, with truth and justice.

He made grandiose statements about judges Wednesday, 19 April 2023 08:28 AM

The former Attorney General made grandiose statements about judges being above others, and how in Sri Lankan society they are the perfect, and how now law can touch them. He was thoroughly against English only for law college saying he passed in Sinhala. What a mess he has made, and current Justice Minister take note of what someone passing law college exams in inappropriate language does 30 years later. Standards went down since him.
