The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has told the Colombo Magistrate’s Court that it is looking into eight bank accounts that were opened with fake documents by Attorney-at-Law Thamara Abeyratne. She is currently remanded in connection with the murder case of ‘Ganemulla Sanjeewa.’ This information was shared in court today (19) when the case was presented to Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama. The police explained that details about these bank accounts came to light during their ongoing investigations of the female lawyer. They also mentioned that evidence suggests these accounts were opened using a fraudulent National Identity Card (NIC). The CID added that a significant amount of money is believed to have been transferred through these accounts, and they are continuing their investigations into the situation, as reported by Ada Derana. After reviewing the information, the Magistrate instructed the CID to keep investigating the bank accounts and to update the court on their findings.
