Sri Lankan police have confirmed that foreign nationals arrested on suspicion of involvement in cybercrimes will be prosecuted under the country's laws and will not be immediately deported. The announcement was made by Police Spokesman DIG Nihal Thalduwa, who stated that investigations are ongoing into several foreign suspects currently detained.
The suspects are believed to be involved in online financial fraud and other cybercrimes. Authorities emphasized that the legal process in Sri Lanka must be completed before any consideration of deportation, ensuring they face justice locally for crimes committed within the country's jurisdiction.
This policy marks a firm stance by Sri Lankan authorities on handling international cybercrime. The move aims to strengthen the judicial response to such offenses and deter criminal operations targeting the country from abroad.
