According to reports, former attorney general Dappula de Livera, who was called before the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID) today, did not show up as directed.
Reports state that the former attorney general reported to the TID on his behalf through a lawyer.
The attorney is alleged to have sent the Terrorism Investigation Division with a seven-page legal objection.
Dappula de Livera, a former attorney general, received a summons to appear before the TID yesterday to provide a statement about the 2019 Easter Sunday terrorist assaults.
After instructing the current Attorney General to record a statement from Dappula de Livera over a claim made with regard to the Easter Attacks days before his retirement, Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe issued the summons.
The Justice Minister stated that there is some skepticism around the investigations as a result of Dappula de Livera’s assertion that “there is a Grand Conspiracy with regard to the 2019 April Attacks”.
