Justice Ministry to act on Sicille’s warrant: AG

The Attorney General’s Department told the Colombo High Court today that steps would be taken through the Justice Ministry to arrest Golden Key Credit Card Company Director of Sicille Kotelawala, who is in hiding since the company collapsed.

Senior State Counsel Damith Totawatte informed High Court Judge Kumudini Wickramasinghe in reply to a question by depositors’ counsel Sumudu Hewage.

Mr. Hewage said even though a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Ms. Kotelawala, the prosecution had failed to do so or at least have not made the British High Commission aware about the arrest warrant. He produced a letter in court purported to have been issued by the British High Commission to one of his clients saying so.  (T. Farook Thajudeen)
