Former Chairman of the National Savings Bank (NSB) Pradeep Kariyawasam, who is also the husband of former Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake, has been granted bail by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court.
Kariyawasam was arrested by officers of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) today (07) in connection with an investigation involving allegations against former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa.
Shiranthi Rajapaksa was arrested at her residence on Poorwarama Road in Kirulapone this morning. According to CIABOC, she was arrested after officers recorded a statement from her for nearly two hours regarding alleged financial irregularities and transactions involving an account linked to the ‘Siriliya Saviya Fund’.
