A Colombo Court yesterday revoked travel restrictions imposed on well-known Sri Lankan racing driver Dilantha Malagamuwa after his counsel’s assurance to court that Mr. Malagamuwa would appear in court on December 14. Mr. Malagamuwa is currently living in Malaysia.

In a case before the Colombo Fort Magistrate, the CID alleged that Mr. Malagamuwa had obtained Rs.15 million from a Sri Lankan businessman and thereby committed a criminal breach of trust by violating section 389 of the Penal Code.

Mr. Malagamuwa had filed an anticipatory bail application in court to pre-empt the possibility of his arrest on charges of a non-bailable offence.

When the case came up before Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne, counsel Jeewantha Jayatilleke appearing on behalf of Mr. Malagamuwa informed that he was taking responsibility for his client to be produce in court at the next hearing date. He further moved court that the travel restrictions imposed on him be revoked since his arrest at the airport would damage his reputation in the sports arena. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

    well said Amber. You can race with someone elses money unless its a sponsorship..

    This guy's a low life and a con man and also did something similar to me on a smaller scale many years ago, The major difference is I couldn't afford to lose it at the time..

    He's no racer, not even a decent driver, he's nothing but an excuse maker and crashes on EVERY turn when he really has to race.
    The only time he can win is when he has overwhelming equipment to out-budget his competition and ANYONE can do that, but on level ground he just crashes or breaks his equipment just watched him do it again in Japan.

    He raced for years in the Porsche Cup Asia series and while new drivers came and went with championships in spite of years of experience over them in the series he never got further then 6 position.. What a tosser!!

    And now it comes out that he's doing it on someone else's fraudulent dime and it doesn't surprise me at all as there's no way he's talented enough to gain REAL sponsorship .

    He also has the brass and arrogance to claim he's done it ALL on his own merits with no help nor riding his fathers coat tales of influence and that's just nonsense.. I guess he means his own con so for that he does deserve all the credit..
