United Peoples’ Freedom Alliance (UPFA) MP Udaya Gammanpila alleged to have forged documents to sell shares  held in a local bank by an Australian company. In this alleged forged affidavit  two Australian nationals reported to have  signed as witnesses. Police seek Interpol assistance to trace those two witnesses.

Mr. Gammanpila was arrested last Saturday(18) and remanded by Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratna.

The SIU informed the magistrate that the directors of the Australian company were Brian Shaddick and his wife. They said investigations had revealed that Mr. Gammanpila was directly linked to the sale of the share

The police Special Investigations Unit (SIU) will either request the witnesses to personally call over to record their statements or, use skype facilities to record their statements, said one of the investigators.

Meanwhile, Mr Gammanpila has filed a Fundamental Rights Petition against his arrest.
