The Central Criminal Investigation Bureau has taken steps to place a three-story house located in the Boralesgamuwa area under a prohibition order for a period of 14 days. The property is suspected to have been purchased by Shiran Basik a major drug trafficker currently in custody using proceeds derived from drug trafficking. This three-story house and the land it stands on valued at approximately 25 million rupees (Rs. 25,000,000) were originally purchased by Shiran Basik in his father’s name and subsequently transferred to his daughter via a deed of gift. This action was taken following revelations uncovered during investigations.
Accordingly, a freezing order has been issued effective from yesterday (13) for a period of 14 days to prevent the sale or transfer of the property, including the house in question.
Steps have already been taken to freeze several other properties belonging to Shiran Basik, who was arrested while in the United Arab Emirates and recently brought back to the country.
