Three cases filed against former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa and former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s sons, Namal Rajapaksa and Yoshitha Rajapaksa, are scheduled to be taken up before courts today (October 13).
The case against Shiranthi Rajapaksa, involving allegations that Rs. 10 million obtained from the National Savings Bank was transferred to an account belonging to the Siriliya Saviya organisation and misappropriated, is scheduled to be heard before the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court today.
Meanwhile, the ‘Krish’ case filed against Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa is also scheduled to be taken up before the same court.
Namal Rajapaksa is also facing proceedings in connection with an investigation into the alleged misappropriation of approximately US$2 million during the purchase of Airbus aircraft for SriLankan Airlines.
The Fort Magistrate’s Court granted him bail on September 30 in connection with the investigation. His bail application in the case filed before the Aluthkade Magistrate’s Court is scheduled to be considered today. He has been remanded until October 16 in connection with the case.
Separately, the case against Yoshitha Rajapaksa, who is accused of causing financial loss to the government by being recruited as an executive cadet officer in the Sri Lanka Navy without the required educational qualifications, is scheduled to be taken up before the Colombo High Court today.
