T forensic audit report was presented to court by the CID when the financial fraud case against Sampath Bank was taken up in court yesterday.
The attorneys appearing on behalf of Sampath Bank notified court that the bank will not be responsible for the fraud committed to the depositors by the bank’s managers.
However, the attorneys representing the aggrieved party told court that the managers of the bank and the ban are not two separate entities and that they are one, adding that the bank is entirely responsible for the frauds committed against the depositors by the bank’s managers.
The Sampath Bank large scale financial scam had come to light during investigations carried out based on a complaint lodged by world renowned native doctor Kelum Weerasinghe.
