October 17, 2025

THE Special Investigation Division (SID) of the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau (SLFEB) has arrested a lawyer who defrauded Rs. 9.41 million by promising to provide jobs in the nursing sector in England and Malta.

- BY SHANIKA SRIYANANDA

The lawyer from Moratuwa ran a licenced foreign employment agency operated under the name CMM Travels and Tours and charged a total of Rs. 9.41 million promising to provide jobs in England and Malta in the nursing sector. His agency licence had expired and did not hold a valid employment order.

He was produced before the Moratuwa Magistrate's Court on Wednesday. Since he pleaded guilty, the Magistrate ordered to release him on two surety bonds of Rs. 500,000 each, and the case is scheduled to be taken up again on 27 January 2026.
