Interpol after Pramuka Bank chief by Jayampathy Jayasinghe Rohan Perera, the absconding CEO of Pramuka Bank being hunted by the Interpol in London and Paris is beleived to have crossed over to a third country, details of which are not known. Perera who slipped out of the country before the CID could question him, was believed to have been in London at the time the interpol assistance was sought by the CID. Perera alleged to be involved in the massive fraud at the Pramuka Bank slipped out of the country before the court could issue a notice ordering him not to leave the country. The CID subsequently alerted the Interpol Headquaters in Paris and the London office to trace Perera's whereabouts. Criminal Investigation Department (CID) probing into the Pramuka Bank embezzlement amounting to millions of rupees said that several heads of government departments including the Public Trustee and State Corporations will be quizzed as to whether they have profited unlawfully by depositing state funds with the Bank and obtaining "Gold Certificates" from them. CID Sources said that they are probing whether the public servants have pocketed one percent of the deposits as "Santhosam"(commission). CID sleuths have already obtained a list of state officers who had dealings with the Pramuka Bank in the past. |
