The Attorney General has instructed the CID to arrest the Swiss embassy worker who is at the centre of an abduction controversy.

The AG has sanctioned her arrest on the charges of fabricating false evidence which could be used against the government in a judicial proceeding.

The development came just hours after she was taken to the National Institute of Mental Health, in Angoda, for an examination.

She was later brought into the CID to obtained another statement.

However, sources revealed that the embassy worker left the CID premises, a short while ago, after giving a statement.
