  We discuss a model in which the large SU(3) flavor violations in singly
Cabibbo suppressed decays of neutral D mesons are ascribed exclusively to the
final state interactions. The agreement with the experimental data on the
branching ratios is obtained with large strong phase differences which are also
necessary for substantial direct CP violation. While the value of the CP
violating asymmetries depends on the strength of the penguin contribution, we
predict an asymmetry for the decays into charged pions more than twice larger
than that for charged kaons and having opposite sign.
