Rajapaksa said this when he opened his new office in Battaramulla today.
Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera had last year claimed that the Rajapaksas hold assets worth over USD 18 billion in foreign countries.
Rajapaksa said that if the allegations are true then evidence to that effect must be put forward.
He said that allegations have been raised against his son Namal Rajapaksa while another son, Yoshitha Rajapaksa, has been put in remand prison.
The former President said that he will not comment on the case on his son Yoshitha Rajapaksa as it is before court but he was surprised that the Prime Minister’s office was releasing statements regarding the case. (Colombo Gazette)
