Sri Lanka Police have seized assets worth over Rs. 300 million belonging to a female drug trafficker from Colombo 14, after investigations revealed they were acquired through proceeds of narcotics trafficking.
The Illegal Assets Investigation Division began the probe following a complaint that the suspect had accumulated properties and wealth illegally.
Orders were issued by the Negombo and Colombo High Courts under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to confiscate the assets, which include land, four shop rooms, a luxury house in Colombo 14 and Ja‑Ela, and six bank accounts containing Rs. 5.9 million.
Further inquiries uncovered another luxury residence valued at Rs. 30 million in Wellampitiya. The property was also frozen by court order on March 20, 2026, for a period of seven days.
The Illegal Assets Investigation Division confirmed that additional investigations into the suspect’s assets and activities are ongoing. (Newswire)
