Investigations conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department have revealed that Thilini Priyamali, who has been arrested and imprisoned for defrauding many unknown tycoons in Sri Lanka, has posed as the agent for importing fuel into Sri Lanka.
It has been revealed that she has collected dollars from many businessmen who deal in dollars claiming to import fuel and she has appeared in front of the businessmen that she is collecting dollars for the government.
She has collected dollars in this way, saying that after bringing the fuel to Sri Lanka, she will sell it and give more money than the current dollar value in rupees.
In the meantime, she has deceived a group of businessmen by showing those dollars and saying that they will give those dollars for a number of rupees less than the current market value.
She has been engaged in this scam very systematically, showing that she has close relations with many powerful people of the government. Investigations have also revealed that it has been easy for her to carry out this fraud because of her close association with famous people in the country.
She was brought out of jail today by court order, and the Criminal Investigation Department brought her to the office at the World Trade Center to take the confidential documents and computer parts related to the said money transactions into the custody of the Criminal Investigation Department.
