The CID today informed Colombo Fort Magistrate's Court that several politicians and popular personalities who invested their money at Thilini Priyamali's Company are reluctant to make complaints with police for various reasons.

The CID said several politicians and popular personalities in the country were among the individuals who invested their money at seven business entities belonging to Thilini Priyamali.

Filing further reports in respect of three complaints lodged against Thilini Priyamali, the CID submitted to court that they were yet to reveal as to how she expended a large amount of money without generating income from the money obtained in a fraudulent manner.

The CID further said that the suspect is monthly expending a sum of Rs.4.1 million to operate her company without generating income.

The CID further said the main suspect Thilini Priyamali is currently having seven pending court cases at Magistrate's Courts and High Courts.

The CID alleged that the suspect had used several mobile phones while being in remand custody and contacted an individual demanding Rs.30 million to get her release from bail.

Attorney-at-law Dasun Nagahawatta with Rakitha Rajapaksa appearing for Thilini Priyamali alleged that CID is presenting exaggerated allegations against their client.

They moved Court to release their client on bail since charges levelled against her are bailable offences. Nagahawatta tendered in court several documents to support that his client is paying taxes and said she is operating a lawful business.Meanwhile, President's Counsel Maithri Gunaratne appearing for an aggrieved party said CID should initiate investigations to arrest a woman named Janaki Siriwardena who has allegedly introduced businessmen to Thilini Priyamali.

Taking into consideration the facts, Colombo Fort Acting Magistrate Shalini Perera ordered to further remand Thilini Priyamali and her business partner Isuru Bandara till November 2.(Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

Never mind if , as the CID says, Politicians and popular Personalities are reluctant to make complaints. If they chose to do so, so be it. However the public is keen to know their names and their involvement.

I wonder if she was used by a Powerful Political family to collect big black money from those who had big black money. Why she is not handcuffed and treated like a Princess by the Prison authorities too must be investigated

Politicians with their undeclared black money have been caught in this Ponzi money laundering scheme. It is time the government should demonstrate that they are indeed honest by going after these great white pointer sharks.

Sad to see that our Ministor of Justices son appearing for the accused. This won’t be an impartial case and any one can predict the outcome.

If so have summons issued on them on suspicion of being involved in 'racketeering' and illegal finance operations and get them to COURT, so they cannot lie! MM

I only hope none of them will ever receive their money back as it's all black money.

Politicians, religious dignitaries and popular personalities will be exposed soon in the course of the investigations, since all these category of people are not second to Thilini.

Bernard Jayatilake Wednesday, 19 October 2022 11:41 PM

True, some Politicians including Namal who is a major Partner is now scared about his life from Thilini Priyamali's hardcore under-world gangsters.

Use her to seek funds Thursday, 20 October 2022 10:35 AM

A cunning way to entangle every Black Money holder, utilizing a pretty woman, who is ready to give anything and everything to get money. Now that she got her money, she is holding them by their balls, to black mail and demand more. Surely, she may have some incriminating evidence of them caught in the act! Prison guards are just TOYYOS for her talent. Hey! Why not Ranil use her to get funds for his budget? She can bring some funds to the Government coffers for sure. She is a good leather business woman!

hoodwinker Thursday, 20 October 2022 06:31 PM

Damn good, so at least half of the loot if recovered will go to? Deshabandu or Rajapakse's. For sure nothing will come out or will be postponed forever, finally all paper's Asthanagathawuna. A normal scenario for SL police and courts.

umas Thursday, 20 October 2022 06:45 PM
