The order was issued following a request by the Bribery Commission. Court also noted that Silva is entitled to legal representation when his statement is recorded.
Earlier, the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption has informed the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court that former Parliamentarian Duminda Silva has been named as a suspect in an alleged bribery incident.
The case relates to the alleged acceptance of a Rs. 15 million bribe to secure bail for a suspect identified as “Dematagoda Ruwan,” who had been arrested over allegations of earning illicit funds through drug trafficking.
The Bribery Commission made the disclosure before court, naming Silva as a suspect in connection with the alleged transaction. Further legal proceedings are expected as investigations continue.
