CIABC submits interim report on Pandora Papers probe

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has been briefed on the progress of the investigation launched by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption into the Pandora Papers.

The Commission’s Director General W.K.D. Wijeratne has submitted an interim report dated 8 November.

The DG informed the President that the various banks and financial institutions had been requested to submit reports containing the bank account details of Thirukumar Nadesan and are currently being received. As the investigation has not been completed, the final report will be issued after further scrutinising the called reports, and once other relevant investigations are carried out.

On 6 October, the President informed the Commission to conduct an immediate inquiry into the Sri Lankans and the transactions revealed in the Pandora Papers and submit a report within a month.
