Actress Piyumi Hansamali appeared before the Illegal Assets Investigations Division of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday to provide a statement regarding an investigation into the alleged suspicious acquisition of property.
Hansamali, emphasizing her confidence in her innocence, addressed reporters, stating, “I have not done anything wrong, so there is no need to be afraid. We were actually summoned last week, but I only received the letter on Saturday. There are many documents that we need to get prepared.”
She elaborated on the legitimacy of her business, explaining that her income is derived from selling cosmetic products. “People can see that one pack of my cream costs about Rs. 35,000 and I have sold 25,000 packs so far. They can do the math and see where I got the money from. We have carried out all related transactions through the banking system and are documented. Bank statements are in 5 bags. We did everything through the bank,” Hansamali added.
Responding to her critics, Hansamali said, “People are jealous. They are hypocritical. Can’t I buy a car after learning something and doing business? Can’t I earn and buy good cars?”
Hansamali further reiterated her innocence and determination to face the investigation without fear, standing firm in her assertion that her wealth is legitimate and well-documented.
