The case filed under the Public Property Act against former President Ranil Wickremesinghe and former Presidential Secretary Saman Ekanayake is scheduled to be taken up again before the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court today (11).
The case was filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) over allegations that more than Rs. 16.6 million in public funds had been misused in connection with Wickremesinghe’s visit to the United Kingdom in 2023 to attend his wife’s graduation ceremony.
The CID had previously informed the court that investigations into the incident had been completed and that the relevant investigation files and documents had been forwarded to the Attorney General.
When the case was last taken up on October 30, both the former President and the former Presidential Secretary appeared before the court.
