He said further details cannot be revealed yet.
There is also conflicting reports about Rajapaksas’ having bank accounts in Dubai, which are presently under investigation.
Information has already been received how the money had come to be
deposited at these accounts, and later transferred to other banks, as
well as about the persons involved.
There will be a delay in the forfeiture of the money due to slip-ups in the investigations.
Owners of these accounts are two Rajapaksa sons, an MP very close to the
former president, a president’s staff member and two businessmen.
Since no legal action has been taken yet over the financial crime
charges against the Rajapaksas, obtaining assistance from foreign
countries has become difficult, said the minister, adding that
investigations should be expedited and legal action taken.
