The Central Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) has issued an order to freeze a property worth approximately Rs. 25 million in Boralesgamuwa, suspected to have been acquired using proceeds from drug trafficking, according to the Police Media Division.
The property, comprising a house and land, was originally purchased in the name of the suspect’s father and later transferred to the suspect’s daughter through a deed of gift.
The suspect, a resident of Boralesgamuwa, was brought to Sri Lanka from the United Arab Emirates and is currently being held under a detention order in the custody of the Central Crime Investigation Bureau as investigations continue.
The freezing order, effective from yesterday (13), prohibits the sale, transfer or any other dealings involving the property for a period of 14 days.
Further investigations into the suspected drug trafficking activities and the assets allegedly linked to them are being conducted by the Central Crime Investigation Bureau, police said.
