The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has mandated an investigation into the financial losses incurred by depositors of ‘OnmaxDT’, suspected of operating a pyramid scheme. The court has requested a comprehensive report to be submitted by August 7.

Colombo Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage issued the order during today's proceedings, where the directors of ‘OnmaxDT’ presented details of the depositors.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) revealed information about two other similar illegal investment schemes. Consequently, the Magistrate instructed the CID to expand their investigation, arrest those involved, and bring them before the court.

The case is set to be revisited on August 7.
