A team of officers from the Criminal Investigations Department are currently recording a statement from former Prime Minister and UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe.

The former Prime Minister is currently being questioned at his Colombo residence on the bond scam.

Former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe's close ally and former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran is a prime suspect in the bond investigation.

The Central Bank was under Wickremesinghe's purview at the time the controversial bond transaction took place.
