Monk arrested over financial fraud linked to Thilini Priyamali

Sri Lankan monk Ven. Borelle Sirisumana Thero has been arrested in connection to the financial fraud linked to businesswoman Thilini Priyamali.

According to Ada Derana, Police Spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa said that the monk was arrested by officials from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today.

He further said that Ven. Borelle Sirisumana Thero was arrested based on information that was revealed during investigations into the financial frauds committed by Thilini Priyamali.

Priyamali was arrested in early October for financially defrauding several businessmen, politicians, and civil, religious, and political leaders.

The Criminal Investigation Department also arrested Isuru Bandara, the alleged business partner of Thilini Priyamali, and both have been remanded.

Last week (27), SSP Nihal Thalduwa revealed that investigations into the financial fraud linked to Thilini Priyamali have unveiled that she had allegedly defrauded Rs. 1.28 billion.

He further said that the information had come to light following investigations conducted into 12 complaints that had been filed against Thilini Priyamali.
