Former Sri Lankan Test cricketer Sujeeva de Silva is being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for fraudulent activities spanning 23 years. The CID has received complaints alleging that de Silva fabricated documents, including two national identity cards with different birth dates in 1979, to deceive authorities and conduct illicit activities.
Using these forged identity cards, de Silva assumed the role of a company director under different identities and misappropriated payments intended for a foreign satellite channel, leading to the company’s closure. He also obtained passports under different names using these forged identity cards and even used them to obtain US citizenship.
Furthermore, the news report raises questions about the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of de Silva’s father, whose demise was allegedly concealed from the public. The lack of public announcements or mourning on social media by de Silva and his siblings has fueled speculation about their motives.
The report also implicates de Silva’s family members in fraudulent activities, including his mother and brother, who allegedly used forged documents in property fraud. The CID has initiated investigations into these allegations.
