LNP – President directs BC to probe Lankans listed in Pandora Papers

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa directed the Chairman of the Bribery Commission to investigate allegations of bribery or corruption and to conduct an immediate inquiry into the Sri Lankan listed in the controversial Pandora Papers.

The President also directed to submit a report within a month.
