The Deputy Minister said that names of Sri Lankan politicians are in the Panama Papers will be revealed soon.

The leaked documents have shone a light on the finances of politicians and public figures from around the world, causing public outrage over how the powerful are able to hide money and avoid tax.

Deputy Minister while addressing the Media at the Government Information Department today (April 07) said this 'Panama Papers' exposure may help divulge important information regarding local politicians and their friends and relatives whose accounts were circulated through banks in Seychelles and Dubai as discharged by the Anti Corruption Fount earlier.

Investigations into 512 complaints made by the front are not at an excellent level. The Attorney General's Department had files relating to 40 investigation completed so far.

They have a reasonable suspicious that a majority of their files and the Panama reviews exposes may have a direct connection, he said
