Court orders have been issued to the managers of two private banks to release information on a Malaysian business tycoon's bank account to the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID).
The order was issued when the FCID sought an order to that effect before Fort Magistrate Ranga Dissanayake, by citing an ongoing investigation into claims that the businessman had funded certain Sri Lankan politicians.
After submitting a progress review report on the investigations, the FCID told the Magistrate that the National Lotteries Board had printed lottery tickets at a printing press belonging to the Malaysian businessman.
Accordingly, court instructed the FCID to submit another progress review report on the case in future, while also issuing orders on the two private bank managers to release the relevant account details of the businessman.
