(July 10, 2009) Sri Lanka police and the Interpol are yet to hunt several Sri Lankan racketeers who are involved in massive frauds amounting billions of rupees.
One such person is the Chairman of the collapsed Pramuka Bank Rohan Perera (see photo) that slipped out of the country in 2002 before the court could issue a notice ordering him not to leave the country.
on December 19, 2002 the Monetary Board cancelled the license granted to Pramuka Savings and Development Bank.
However, by a Gazette Extraordinary No. 1145/25 on August 17, 2000, the Finance Minister had listed Pramuka Savings and Development Bank amongst a select group of banks for deposit of trust funds by the Public Trustee. This has been repeated in the government Gazette on June 28, 2002.
Another absconding business giant is Sicilia Kothalawala, wife of Lalith Kothalawala who is now remanded under suspicion for cheating billions of rupees of the depositors of the Golden Key Credit Card Company. Sicilia Kothalawala is a director of the company and she is believed living in Singapore.
Ill famous Sakvithi Ranasinghe, a fraudster who swindled a massive amount of money from depositors who were after high yields, silently slipped off the country and still no productivity can be seen in the declared actions to hunt him.
