Maligakanda Magistrate Manjula Thilakaratne has granted the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) permission to access the records of 19 accounts belonging to model Piumi Hansamali.
This follows allegations that she has acquired substantial properties through organized crime.
These accounts are spread across eight leading banks in the country. The investigation centers on claims that Hansamali has accumulated significant assets, including a Range Rover valued at Rs. 80 million and a residential property worth Rs. 148 million in Colombo, through clandestine criminal activities.
The investigation aims to uncover the source of funds deposited into Hansamali’s multiple bank accounts over a short period, suspected to be linked to illegal earnings.
