However, it is reported that the FCID has been informed that she would not be able to appear as scheduled. While no specific reason has been officially disclosed, sources said that her absence is due to health concerns.

The Criminal Investigation Department had earlier informed the Colombo Fort Magistrate's Court on the 18th regarding the summons issued to Mrs. Wickremesinghe.

Accordingly, she was due to appear before the Financial Crimes Investigation Division today to provide a statement in connection with an ongoing investigation involving former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
