The Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Secretary to the Ministry of Law and Order have begun an inquiry into the activities of the Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID).

Sources close to the Prime Minister said the inquiry had been had been launched after a series of complaints were received by both the Premier and President Maithripala Sirisena against the FCID.

The objective of the investigation is to determine whether these complaints were valid and whether anyone was bringing any undue influence to bear on the FCID which could compromise its actions.

The report on the investigation was due to be made available in approximately fifteen days, according to sources. (Yohan Perera)

ACTUALLY THIS NAME SHOULD BE CHANGED TO " INQUIRES DEPARTMENT" INSTEAD OF "INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT". ............. NO INVESTIGATIONS JUST INQUIRE .... INQUIRE AND INQUIRE.......

Investigate the invetigators - HaHa. May be complaints to demoralise FCID by the MR supporters both in and outside tthe public service as a lot of snakes have been put under the yahapalanaya sarongs by interested parties.

If no action is taken against JO rotters, then its the down fall of Yahapalanaya.

It's coming to past on what was said about the FCID. When facts are being unearthed even of present government politicians they will want to investigate the investigators and coming colors is close it down.

Is this another drama by the President, PM and the Secretary to delay any imminent VIP arrests?

When this happens with FCID How can you all expect UN to allow your own enquiry.

Today we are in this plight as President Sirisena is too decent. Its time for President to appoint three special courts to fast track all the CID

Hay don't talk rubbish, if the CB matter is proved, then the concerned person will be punished, but never think that JO rotters plus MR family can escape from their wrong doings by looting our money OK.

Desmond Jeromme Saturday, 06 May 2017 11:04 AM

Now the time has come to proceed with the MR/JO looters, almost 2 years elapsed before the next elections action play should take place.
