Sajin Vaas has been remanded and released on bail in connection with several incidents of fraud and corruption during the previous regime.
The revelation was made during a meeting a group of civil society representatives had with the president and the prime minister to discuss the term of Central Bank governor Arjun Mahendran.
One of the representatives said there was talk that the president was trying to save the corrupt and has given MSD security to those out on bail.
Strongly rejecting the allegation, the president immediately telephoned the IGP and inquired from him as to how Sajin Vaas had received police security.
The police chief answered that the request had come from Samarawickrama, an answer which left the civil society representatives with much disbelief.
