The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has appointed a special team to track the foreign bank accounts maintained by former SriLankan CEO Kapila Chandrasena and his wife, a senior CID officer told Times Online.
This team will probe overseas bank transactions conducted by both Mr Chandrasena and his wife from the period dating back to his time at SriLankan Airlines.
The team will request details from foreign banks where the suspects are known to have maintained accounts as part of its investigation, the official added.
The two were arrested after surrendering to the CID this morning. The Attorney General instructed police to obtain warrants for their arrest in relation to accusations that Airbus channeled a USD 2 million bribe to an account maintained by a SriLankan executive's wife. The information surfaced as part of a court case being heard in the UK.
