No one dares speak out  against the Silva family due to their connections both with the  underworld and their immunity due to presidential patronage. Malaka’s track record * In September 2007 an Accountant, Chaminda Senasinghe was hit on  face with pistol butt by Malaka Silva at the Bistro Latino  Restaurant. Speaking to The Sunday Leader from the Nawaloka Hospital,  Chaminda recounted those last moments before he fell to the floor only  to be kicked and manhandled by about 10 persons. (Sunday Leader  September  9, 2007). After visiting hospital Chaminda lodged a complaint  at the Bambalapitiya Police Station. However Malaka had made it to the  police station before Chaminda and had himself made a complaint  indicating a small bruise on the bridge of his nose and stating a group  of persons had assaulted him. Senasinghe who had 11 stitches on his  forehead and Malaka Silva was remanded on September 11, 2007 for pistol  whipping Chaminda Senasinghe. * Malaka Silva and two of his bodyguards on November 2, 2006 pleaded  guilty to attacking attacking Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) officers who  were on a drug raid at a night club in a five star hotel. Colombo High Court Judge Upali Abeyratne ordered each of them to pay  compensation of Rs. 10,000 each and enter into a bond in Rs 100,000 each  to be of good behaviour for one year. The accused were Malaka Silva and  his bodyguards Sampath Kumara Rajapakse and Prasanna Kumara Suresh. The  judge ordered that the compensation be directed to the Police Rewards  Fund. In a direct indictment by the Attorney General the three accused were  charged with willfully causing hurt to deter a public servant from his  duty. Malaka Silva was charged with intimidating and obstructing the PNB  team which went on a narcotics raid with a court order to the night  club My Kind of Place at Taj Samudra in the early hours of July 24,  2005. The accused were indicted with assaulting police personnel including  PC R.W. A. Dayan Lasantha – an offence punishable under Section 323 of  the Penal Code. According to the statements given by PNB officers and PNB OIC  Buddhika Balachandra at the magisterial inquiry, on the said date the  narcotics team, on a tip-off had raided the night club to arrest an  ‘ecstasy’ dealer who was said to have been trafficking the drug at the  hotel. When the PNB officers who were in plain clothes were leaving the  night club after completing the ten-minute raid, Malaka Silva had  obstructed them and abused them in foul language. Malaka Silva had  allegedly threatened the police officer at gunpoint and assaulted the  police officers. Later he had called his bodyguard who was armed with a  pistol and attacked the police officers. The PNB team had allegedly withdrawn from the place as the accused  were armed and as they did not want to create a problem there. Later  they had complained to the Colombo Fort police station. The accused had later surrendered to the police station. Ironically  two days after the attack former Police Chief, Chandra Fernando,  announced the release of Malaka Silva and his mates saying that there  was no evidence. Media reported that the police were under pressure not  to work hard on the case. In his attempt to defend his son, Mervyn Silva abused journalists in  filth and stated that he knows what to do with the owners of Sirasa and  Swarnavahini – two privately owned media outlets. Earlier in connection with this trial Malaka had also been banned  from entry into night clubs after 7 p.m with a warning that if the ban  were violated the one million rupee bail on the two persons would be  converted to a fine and charged from them. (Sunday Leader September  9,  2007) * According to a leaked<a href="http://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/rajapaksa-tiger-deal-on-wikileaks-and-political-analysis/" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/wikileaks-mervin-silava-is-a-drug-kingpin-patron-chief/" target="_blank">US diplomatic cables, in February 2007</a>, US Ambassador <a href="http://www.colombotelegraph.com/?s=Patricia+A.+Butenis+&x=9&y=10" target="_blank">Patricia A.

His son, Malaka Silva, is  suspected of trafficking the drug ‘ecstasy’ in Co<img src="http://www.colombotelegraph.com/wp-content/themes/Transcript/timthumb.php?src=http://www.colombotelegraph.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Malaka-Silva.jpg&q=90&w=629&zc=1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
