Sri Lankan monk Ven. Borelle Sirisumana Thero has been arrested in connection to the financial fraud linked to businesswoman Thilini Priyamali.
According to Ada Derana, Police Spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa said that the monk was arrested by officials from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today.
He further said that Ven. Borelle Sirisumana Thero was arrested based on information that was revealed during investigations into the financial frauds committed by Thilini Priyamali.
