Upon confirmation that the money is drug-related, the trafficker's Soysapura property worth 1500 lakhs is confiscated.

The Sri Lanka Police's Illegal Assets Investigation Division has taken steps to prohibit vast properties worth 150 million rupees, confirmed to have been earned through illegal drug trafficking. This investigation was initiated based on a complaint that an individual residing in Soysapura, Moratuwa, had illegally acquired properties and assets through drug trafficking.

Following investigations into the said complaint, investigating officers arrested the 46-year-old suspect on March 25, 2026, in the Horethuduwa area.

During further investigations conducted after the suspect's arrest, it was further revealed that these properties were entirely purchased with money earned from drug trafficking. Accordingly, a house worth 50 million rupees built on an 11-perch land in the Keselwatta area of Panadura and a three-story house worth 100 million rupees located on a 16-perch land in the Moratuwa area have been prohibited. The Police Media Division states that orders have been issued to deactivate the relevant properties for a period of 07 days under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act No. 05 of 2006.
