The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has ordered the confiscation of a luxury vehicle seized by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC).
Colombo Chief Magistrate Thilina Gamage issued the order following a request made by CIABOC.
It is revealed that the vehicle, a Mitsubishi Montero jeep, belongs to a businessman from the Badulla area.
Investigations had uncovered that the vehicle was imported using falsified information provided to the Customs, resulting in the government being defrauded of more than Rs. 55 million in taxes.
