Judges implicated in Ranjan recordings give statements to CCD

Statements were recorded from two judges implicated in the controversial recordings of Parliamentarian Ranjan Ramanayake by the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) yesterday. 

Justice Gihan Pilapitiya was questioned for five hours by the CCD, which also recorded a statement from retired judge Padmini Ranawaka on the matter following a directive issued by Attorney General Dappula de Livera. 

The Judicial Services Commission (JSC) interdicted Baddegama Magistrate Dhammika Hemapala for his involvement in the controversial phone recording of MP Ramanayake.
