Colombo, Sep 18 (Daily Mirror) - The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has released a photograph of a female suspect who is wanted in connection with a financial fraud involving Rs. 150 million.

As it was done recently and photo published, there is a notary/lawyer who executed the deed and two witnesses who signed for the transaction. In a way, easy to track the culprits. Relevant laws pertinent to transfer/purchase of lands need changes. It is best to take photographs of lawyer, witnesses and seller/buyer, at time of writing deeds. Forging of deeds has turned out to be a common practice in land matters, especially in the provinces.

This kind of fraud is so rampant in SL. It is easier for fraudsters who work with crooked lawyers to buy and sell than it is for legitimate sellers and buyers who have to go through multiple identity verifications.

Identity card office issuing ID after taking photos and finger prints. So if they have the face identification system it is easy.

This type of fraud cannot be executed by single individual, there must be her co-ordinators, such as, Police, Land Registry, Lawyers, etc. By now she must be in Australia, check Airport CCTVs.

Such crimes has become a norm in our day to day lives. This country is full of fraudsters. Some people have become a good example of the politicians and following their foot steps.

My question is how did the CID get her photo to be published for the public to help capture her? After arresting her it'll turn out to be another Thilini Priyamali case. Why do you need a CID when they are asking the public for help?
