Former SLPP MP Tissa Kuttiarachchi arrived at the Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) on Monday in response to a summons issued by the financial crimes unit. The ex-legislator's appearance marks the latest development in what appears to be a widening investigation into financial matters.
The FCID, a specialized law enforcement unit tasked with investigating complex financial crimes and economic offences, had formally summoned Kuttiarachchi to provide a statement as part of its inquiries. The nature of the specific investigation has not been disclosed.
Kuttiarachchi, who previously served as a member of parliament representing the SLPP, joins a growing list of political figures who have been questioned by investigative authorities in recent months as scrutiny of financial dealings has intensified across multiple sectors.
The FCID is responsible for investigating allegations of fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and other financial crimes. Officials at the division did not immediately provide details regarding the outcome of Kuttiarachchi's appearance or the expected timeline for further developments in the case.
