The Colombo High Court today acquitted Minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena from a Bribery Corruption case filed against him for the alleged unlawful acquisition of assets estimated at Rs. 41.1 million.
When the case was taken up before Colombo High Court Judge Aditya Patabendige, lawyers representing the Bribery Commission informed the Court that the case would not proceed further. Accordingly, the Judge decided to acquit the Minister from the case.
President Counsel Kalinga Indatissa appeared for the Minister.
Earlier, the Director General of the BC had filed an indictment in the Colombo High Court on two counts against former Minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena for the unlawful acquisition of assets estimated at Rs.41.1 million.
In his indictment, the Director General alleged that the former Minister had committed this offence by way of undeclared assets between 2004 to 2006.
