A 37-year-old resident of Dehiwala has been arrested by the Colombo Central Division Criminal Investigation Unit in connection with a large-scale financial fraud related to foreign employment.
The arrest follows multiple complaints lodged at the Salve Island Police Station, alleging that the suspect defrauded nearly Rs. 50 million from approximately 150 individuals by promising overseas job opportunities.
The arrest took place in the Kirulapone Police Division on the evening of June 24, and the suspect has since been handed over to the Slave Island Police for further investigation.
