During a session at the Colombo Magistrate’s Court on July 10th, it was disclosed that a staggering 4,757 million rupees had been deposited into the bank account of businessman Viranjith Thambugala between 2018 and 2022.
Senior Deputy Solicitor General Dilipa Peiris brought this to attention while presenting details of an ongoing investigation into Thambugala’s alleged accumulation of illegal assets. The investigation has unearthed significant financial transactions raising concerns about their legitimacy.
This revelation emerged in the context of a case against Thambugala, who is accused of defrauding an individual of 70 lakh rupees. The case continues to develop as authorities delve deeper into Thambugala’s financial dealings.
