The CID had recovered 67 files hidden in a house in Colombo pertaining to controversial Sathosa fraud amounting to billions during the previous government, during a raid.
According to the CID sources, there were files with details of rice imports shipments during 2016-2017 hidden in this house.
It is highly suspicious that such documents pertaining to imports of rice shipments which should be within the Sathosa premises had been hidden away in a private house. The CID said that through this discovery they hope to reveal many of the corrupt and fraudulent transactions of the previous government.
