Kotelawala and Golden Key Directors make statements to CID

(January 20, Colombo,Sri Lanka Guardian) Ceylinco Consolidated Chairman Lalith Kotelawala and 10 other directors of the collapsed Golden Key Credit Card Co on Tuesday made statements to the CID in connection with an alleged fraud at the company, CID officials said.

No details were available of what is contained in the statements. Police have filed a case of fraud in the Golden Key case in which hundreds of depositors are demanding that the company returns their money. Last week, the Mount Lavinia Chief Magistrate Harsha Setunga ordered Mr Kotelawala and others to make statements to the CID before January 20. Four persons including the company’s Deputy Chairman Khavan Perera are in remand prison over the alleged fraud. - Sri Lanka Guardian
