The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has dropped the charges against Minister Nimal Siripala De Silva in connection with the allegation of seeking bribes from Japanese contractor

which was hired for the construction at the Airport, due to unsubstantiated evidence.

Earlier, the Three-member Committee appointed by the President to probe the case also concluded that there is not enough evidence to substantiate the allegations.
