The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has ordered an investigation into the loss of investments made by the depositors of OnmaxDT – which is believed to have been operating a pyramid scheme, and for a detailed report to be submitted to the court on 7 August.

This order was issued by Colombo Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage when the case was taken up yesterday (9).

During the court proceedings, the directors of OnmaxDT submitted the details of the depositors who invested money in the private firm to the court.

Meanwhile, the state counsel who appeared for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) stated before the court that information has been revealed regarding two similar illegal investment schemes. 

Accordingly, the Magistrate, who ordered the CID to investigate further into the relevant investment schemes, also ordered to arrest the suspects involved and present them before the court.

Later, the case was ordered to be recalled on 7 August.
