CID officials attached to the PCoI had visited ArjunAloysius’ residence after receiving unverified information that Aloysius had left the country and since he had not turned up at the Commission to provide the bank details he had earlier been asked to furnish, it was revealed by ASG Dappula De Livera before the PCoI today.

 

President’s Counsel Anuja Premaratne, who was appearing on behalf of Aloysius said in the middle of proceedings that CID officers attached to the PCoI had gone to the residence of his client and had compelled him to come before the commission with relevant bank details that he was asked to produce earlier.

 

Mr. Premaratne was of the view that Aloysius needs sufficient time to produce them to the Commission considering the difficulty of obtaining those details from two banks.

 

Acting Solicitor General Dappula de Livera explained that Aloysius had earlier been asked to come to the commission yesterday (12) with relevant bank statements and he was not present before the commission by yesterday morning.

 

Subsequently, the CID officers wanted to know where Aloysius was since unverified information was received that he had left the country.

 

At this moment, Mr. Premaratne PC guarantied that Aloysius had not left the country and was at his residence at that moment and contacted him via text message over the CID’s arrival.

 

However, ASG De Livera wanted to know as to when Aloysius could provide his bank details to the commission.

 

After contacting his client, Mr. Premaratne PC said that details of one bank could be provided today (13) before the commission and the other details will be provided tomorrow (14).
