At the onset of the inquiry before Fort Magistrate Priyantha Liyanage the aggrieved complainant’s Counsel M.M. Zuhair PC complained to the Magistrate that the court had ordered the CID to conduct investigations into three matters, to find out how and what happened to Rs. 80 million from Rs. 130million defrauded by the first suspect Shanthi Kanagasingham to the businessmen.

Secondly to recover all documents and other evidence used by the suspects to commit the fraud of over Rs. 130 million to the businessmen.

Thirdly the offense committed by a leading finance company through whom the suspect had financed three luxury vehicles that were bought from the cheated money.

The counsel said that the court had ordered the CID in 2019 to conduct proper investigations into the matter, but no proper investigations had conducted by the CID to this date.

CID's first priority is to wash laundry of Politicians including at times transporting jungi for subject Minister. With 225 arseholes to wash, it is a full time task. Whenever they get a break from washing, then they time to serve the people and up hold law.

Ha ha this is exactly what cardinal said a day ago. CID is there to cover up Rajapakshahoru crimes.

Not only the CID, but almost all state agencies are extremely lethargic and corrupt.
