The Sri Lanka Police have submitted files for 11 cases involving serious offenses such as fraud, corruption, murder, and embezzlement to the Attorney General’s Department for legal proceedings. These cases implicate several senior politicians and high-ranking officials from previous governments.
Out of the submitted files, the Attorney General has decided to immediately proceed with indictments in four cases where full evidence has been provided. These cases focus primarily on fraud and corruption.
Additionally, four other files concerning embezzlement and corruption have been sent to the Director General of the Commission for the Investigation of Bribery or Corruption for further investigation and case preparation.
The remaining three cases require additional evidence, and the Attorney General’s Department has instructed the police to expedite their investigations.
A specialized team, led by Attorney General and President’s Counsel Parinda Ranasinghe, along with Additional Senior Solicitor General and President’s Counsel Rohantha Abeysuriya, is working to ensure the swift progress of these cases. The move signals a renewed effort to address corruption and other serious offenses from past administrations.
