The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has ordered the confiscation of a luxury vehicle seized by the Bribery Commission.

Colombo Chief Magistrate Thilina Gamage issued the order following a request made by the Bribery Commission. 

Investigations uncovered that the vehicle was imported using falsified information provided to customs, resulting in the government being defrauded of more than Rs. 55 million in taxes.

The confiscated vehicle, a Mitsubishi Montero jeep, belongs to a businessman from the Badulla area.
