Money laundering case against Namal put off

The case against MP Namal Rajapaksa and four others over a charge of laundering Rs. 30 million of questionable earnings through Gover’s Corporate Services has been put off until November 29.

Colombo high court judge Piyasena Ranasinghe yesterday (31) took
up the case filed by the attorney general on 11 counts.

State counsel Padmal Weerasinghe handed over copies of the witness evidence to the defendants and said more would follow.

President’s counsel Jayantha Weerasinghe informed court that president’s counsel Gamini Marapana would appear for the first accused, Namal Rajapaksa.

The judge ordered Weerasinghe to re-submit the request, at the next hearing, when he asked that the case be taken up on April 04, as Marapana would be unable to be present on February 16 and 20.

The other accused in the case are Indika prabhath Karunajeewa, Chandrasekara Pavitrika Sujani Bogollagama, Nithya Senani Samaranayake, Batapola Arachchige Ornella Iresha Silva and Gover’s Corporate Services.
