The Special Investigation Division of the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau has arrested two individuals, including the owner of a foreign employment agency, for defrauding Rs. 1 million by falsely promising jobs in Canada.
Following a complaint lodged with the Bureau, an investigation revealed that the fraud occurred at an organization operating in the Borella area, which claimed to facilitate employment in the financial sector in Canada.
During a raid conducted by investigating officers, it was discovered that the company was an illegal foreign employment agency operating without a valid license from the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau.
The suspects were subsequently produced in court and granted bail of Rs. 1 million each.
