THE GRAFFITI FINANCIER: Leaked DDP papers reveal leader of a major political party accused of bankrolling graffiti suspects but remains at large, MP Bulitavu and businessman Jagath Karunaratne to face TRIAL!

DPP and Director of CID yet to take any action against the party leader!

As a starting point the leader of the political party (Fijileaks is withholding the name at this point) had allegedly given $2000 for the first round of operations and subsequently another $5000 plus after seeing the first impact of graffiti. The party leader had also allegedly urged the teams through one of the graffiti suspects to step up the operations to another level which included burning of government owned properties and create more chaos with the promise of more funding to the teams. As you may recall, this is the time the police bure and few other places were burnt in the western area.
