Singapore is yet to receive the request seeking the extradition of former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran over the Treasury Bond Scam. The Presidential Secretariat forwarded the documents signed by President Maithripala Sirisena to the Foreign Ministry to be submitted to the Government of Singapore, a spokesman of the President’s Office said yesterday. However, an official at the Sri Lankan High Commission in Singapore said that they had not yet received the documents. “The High Commission has not yet received the documents referred to and the said documents will be duly transmitted to the Singaporean authorities once received by the Sri Lanka High Commission in Singapore,” the official said without wanting to be named. The documents containing more than 21,000 pages prepared by the Attorney General (AG) had been forwarded to the President to place his signature as the Minister of Defence on Friday (06). AG Dappula de Livera had on Monday handed over the documents required for the extradition of Mahendran to the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Defence. Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had said last week that the Singapore Government would consider the extradition request once the necessary supporting information and documents were received. It said the information and documents had been requested since 18 January this year, and the Sri Lankan High Commission has also confirmed that these documents had not yet been forwarded to the Singapore Government. “When we receive them, we will consider the extradition request further in accordance with Singapore’s law,” the Ministry said.
