“We have not run away to any other country and we do not intend to do so. I have requested for an independent investigation into the allegations, so why should my wife and I leave? All these allegations are baseless,” Nadesan said.

He further said he had been summoned to the Bribery Commission today and would appear to address the allegations levelled against him.

The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has summoned Thirukumar Nadesan to appear before the Commission today to record a statement with regard to allegations revealed in the Pandora Papers.

An official at the Commission said Nadesan had been summoned to record a statement after they launched an investigation following the directive of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Accordingly, the Bribery Commission has appointed a special investigation team to probe into the Sri Lankans who were listed in the Pandora leaks over allegations that former parliamentarian Nirupama Rajapaksa and her husband Nadesan maintained accounts/ assets, offshore.
