The father of suspected major drug trafficker Shiran Basik, who was recently brought back to Sri Lanka from Dubai, has been arrested by the Central Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) in connection with an investigation into a property valued at approximately Rs. 30 million.
Abdul Razak Mohomed Basik was arrested today (11) under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Investigations have reportedly revealed that Shiran Basik had purchased an apartment at a luxury residential complex in the Gampaha area and registered the property in his father’s name.
Basik’s father had been summoned to appear before the CCIB today to provide a statement regarding the property. He was subsequently arrested in connection with the investigation.
