  • La famille Rajapaksa (en singhalais : රාජපක්ෂ ) est une famille sri-lankaise qui occupe une place importante dans la politique du pays. C'était l'une des familles les plus puissantes du Sri Lanka pendant la présidence de Mahinda Rajapaksa (2005-2015), où de nombreux membres de la famille occupèrent des postes au gouvernement ou dans la haute administration de l'État sri-lankais. Au fur et à mesure que leur pouvoir politique augmentait, il était rapporté que le pays se dirigeait vers l'autocratie. À la suite de la défaite inattendue de Mahinda Rajapaksa à l'élection présidentielle de 2015, les membres de la famille furent accusés d'autoritarisme, de corruption, de népotisme et de mauvaise gouvernance. Lors de l'élection présidentielle de 2019, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, le frère de Mahinda Rajapaksa, se présenta et gagna. La popularité de la famille Rajapaksa s'effondra après que leurs actions ont provoqué la crise économique qui a commencé en 2019, entraînant le défaut de paiement de la dette du Sri Lanka pour la première fois de son histoire post-indépendance en seulement 30 mois après son arrivée au pouvoir.

The popularity of the Rajapaksa family collapsed after their actions caused the economic crisis that started in 2019, resulting in Sri Lanka defaulting on its debt for the first time in its post-independence history within just 30 months of coming to power. The extended Rajapaksa family is believed to have amassed a large amount of wealth and while the amount of and scale is unknown several members of the family have been revealed in international investigations such as the Pandora Papers to be using networks of shell companies and trusts to hide their wealth in offshore tax havens which has led to accusations of Rajapaksas turning Sri Lanka into a Kleptocracy (en)
