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.
