By Nirmala Kannangara
Legal action is to be filed against Gamini Senarath, the Chief of Staff of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for alleged money laundering.
The CID has already filed the ‘B’ report in the Colombo Chief Magistrate Court against Senarath and has requested the court directions to all financial institutions and banks in the country to give details of bank accounts of the Senarath family for further investigations.
“The Colombo Chief Magistrate gave directions to all banks and financial institutions in the country to help the CID to trace all the bank accounts of the Senarath family and the accounts of the companies they own for further investigations,” reliable CID sources told The Sunday Leader. According to sources, Senarath has been accused of accumulating a large wealth within a short period since he became the Chief of Staff of the former President.
“Senarath will have to face legal action under Section 3 of the Money Laundering Act No. 5 of 2006,” sources added.
