The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has made a major breakthrough in the probe into Golden Key (GK) Credit Card Company’s financial dealings when they detected a lorry-load of documents of GK and its subsidiary companies dumped at a stores complex at Rajagiriya belonging to the Ceylinco Group of Companies.
The detection was made on information revealed by a senior official of the company during interrogation, a senior CID official told The Sunday Times FT.
These documents will help to prove the financial scam committed by the company siphoning the money of depositors amounting to millions of rupees, he said. A team of CID sleuths is now sifting through these documents to file a B report on their findings before the Mount Lavinia Chief Magistrates Court on Thursday April 23.
Two CID sleuths have been deployed at the GK head office at Bambalapitiya to inspect these documents and seek clarifications from GK Financial Controller Shantha Ranatunge.
Meanwhile the statement of Jasmine Chitty, Secretary, International Relations in Lalith Kotelawala’s office is being recorded by the CID aimed at unearthing information on foreign dealings of Kotelawala and GK. In the meantime Interpol has informed the CID that they are taking action to arrest Sicille Kotelawela on the warrant issued by the Mount Lavinia Magistrate. |
