December 06, 2015

The Police Financial Crimes Division (FCID) has concluded initial investigations into the Lanka  Hospitals stock market manipulations case. 

A senior officer from the Police FCID told Asian Mirror that suspects would be arrested in connection with the case after written instructions from the Attorney General.

He further added that the suspects of the case could be charged under Offences Against Public Property Act. 

Asian Mirror reliably learns that two top businessmen and an influential public official under the previous government have been identified as responsible parties for the stock market manipulation. 

Former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa was the Chairman of the Lanka Hospitals Private Limited during the period under question. 

The Colombo Magistrate’s Court`, in July, this year,  directed the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to submit a detailed report on share transactions of Dilith Jayaweera, former SEC chief Nalaka Godahewa, Varuni Amunugama and Sarvajana Anandaraj Ameresekere since 2008.
