Reports indicate that legal action is being prepared against six former ministers concerning allegations of bribery, corruption, and other criminal charges. According to reliable sources, investigations into these senior politicians, who held ministerial portfolios in past governments, have been concluded.
The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption, the Attorney General’s Department, and the Criminal Investigation Department of the Police have jointly conducted these investigations. Legal proceedings against the former ministers are expected to commence within the next few weeks.
These former ministers reportedly represent the districts of Kurunegala, Kandy, Kalutara, Badulla, and Monaragala, and include a current Member of Parliament. A senior spokesperson from the legal division stated that some individuals are expected to be arrested soon.
