The Commission to Investigate Bribery or Corruption filed two cases against former Parliamentarian Duminda Silva on alleged non-declaration of assets.

These cases were filed with the Colombo Magistrate’s Court today in regarding Silva's failure to declare his assets in 2013 and 2014.

The Commission initiated investigations on the former MP following startling revelations by Gampola Vidanalage Samantha Kumara alias 'Wele Suda' earlier this year.

On January 27, the then Police Spokesperson SSP Ajith Rohana confirmed that 'Wele Suda' had paid a large amount of money to Duminda Silva. It was alleged the money was paid as ransom by the drug dealer.

Duminda Silva was questioned in April this year by the Bribery Commission regarding the non-declaration of assets.
