Five suspects have been arrested by the Special Investigation Unit of the Police Division attached to the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) for allegedly carrying out foreign employment scams using forged documents.
The arrests were made during coordinated raids conducted in Boralesgamuwa, Maharagama, Nittambuwa, and Wattala, according to the SLBFE.
During the operations, authorities seized 10 employment contracts purportedly issued for jobs in Dubai, 27 job application forms, and a computer used to produce fraudulent documentation.
Investigators also recovered a large cache of forged official seals, falsely attributed to principals of government schools, senior executive-grade public officials from several state institutions, and university lecturers.
In addition, fraudulently manufactured educational certificates and school-leaving certificates were among the items taken into custody.
The Bureau stated that investigations are ongoing to identify further individuals linked to the scam network.
