A person attempting to transfer 50,000 Euros overseas through the ‘Undiyal’ system has been arrested by the Special Task Force (STF) at Pepiliyana in Boralesgamuwa.
The arrested suspect is a 53-year-old resident of Punchi Borella.
The foreign currency, all in 100 Euro notes, has been valued at around 18.69 million Sri Lankan rupees.
