ASP land racket with Mahinda’s protection
ASP Liyanage has been accused of a large scale plundering of money from customers by carrying out a land selling business in main towns in Colombo and Gampaha districts.
He is a very close friend of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and in 2010 released a CD that included songs of praise by his daughter. He also was a candidate of the presidential election that year but later asked voters publicly to vote for Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa.
After the presidential election he was appointed the ambassador for Nigeria. During the recent presidential election he supported Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa by publishing newspaper advertisements and various other means.
