Two people, including a woman, have been taken into custody by the Computer Crime Investigation Division (CCID) in the North Western Province for their suspected roles in financial fraud. The arrests came after police looked into complaints from women who lost money after being promised profits through an online business. One investigation found that a woman had been tricked into losing Rs. 3,141,967. Of this total, Rs. 200,000 was illegally transferred to a bank account belonging to the female suspect, who had sold her account to an unknown person to help carry out the scam. In a second case, another victim was also defrauded of Rs. 3,141,967. From this amount, Rs. 233,522 went into a bank account owned by the male suspect, who similarly sold his account for financial benefit. As a result, the CCID arrested a 33-year-old woman from Galle and a 36-year-old man from Panadura on the 12th of this month. The CCID, part of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), is continuing to investigate the matter further in Sri Lanka.
