It’s reported that 201 key underworld figures are reportedly coordinating crimes in Sri Lanka, including murders and drug trafficking, while residing abroad, mainly in countries like Dubai.
Police sources say all relevant details about these individuals have been shared with INTERPOL.
Following discussions with authorities in host countries, legal steps are underway to extradite these underworld members. Accordingly, 19 have already been brought back to Sri Lanka.
Meanwhile, police have received information that around 65 major organized crime leaders are still residing abroad.
