Anti-corruption groups were in for a rude shock this week over the changes under way at the Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID).
Some top sleuths, trained abroad since the setting up of the FCID under the Yahapalanaya or Good Governance government have received transfer orders. They are being moved out.
Replacing them were new officers and men, most of whom are not conversant with the recent investigations or are not proficient in recording statements over complex investigations. The move comes at a time when the Government is setting up a separate High Court to try those accused of corruption and related charges.
The Committee on High Posts has approved the nomination of Former Air Force Commander Air Chief Marshal (Retd.)
Former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, arrested on allegation of corruption by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been remanded until July 1 by the Colombo Magistrate court.
