In the case of investigations carried out by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), a delay on the part of the Attorney General\u2019s Department has been listed as the reason why no action has been taken. <\/p>\n

According to a note prepared by the CID, those cases include the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022\tDate of complaint; January 14, 2015 \u2013 Investigations into alleged conspiracy at Temple Trees in the early hours of January 10, 2015. File referred to AG on January 27, 2015. File No: CR \/108\/2015,<\/p>\n

An FCID officer said some 80 files of investigations completed were now with the Attorney General\u2019s Department. This is besides a large number of files that were returned to Police Chief Pujith Jayasundera at his request.<\/p>\n

AG\u2019s Department Officials have repeatedly insisted that some of the investigations though completed lacked sufficient details. Others lacked substantial evidence that would warrant an indictment, they pointed out. <\/p>\n

The AG\u201ds Department works on the principle that an indictment must have a reasonably good chance of a conviction in a court of law. Otherwise, it should not proceed with a prosecution. Many files sent to the AG\u2019s Deparment do not have that amount of evidence to launch a successful prosecution, they say.<\/p>\n
