According to the report, the Criminal Investigation Department has initiated investigations regarding Manju Nissanka, the leader of the Global Sri Lanka Congress. These investigations are being carried out by the Illegal Assets Investigation Division, as stated by department sources.
He was summoned to the Criminal Investigation Department last week to provide a statement for the investigation. However, he failed to appear on the scheduled date and claimed that he did not receive the summons. According to department sources, he has been summoned again to provide a statement next week.
The report also states that the investigation will examine allegations that Express Pearl intervened in the compensation process and will look into Nissanka’s assets.
Complaints have been lodged with the Criminal Investigation Department, alleging that during the days of the Galle face struggle, Nissanka stayed in a nearby luxury hotel and provided funds to the strugglers.
