The Colombo Fort Magistrate has ordered the CID to confiscate the property of Dhanuna Tillekaratna, the son-in-law of General Sarath Fonseka after he failed to appear in court for the HiCorp case before a deadline of 9.00 a.m. today

Accordingly a sum of Rs. 15 million and US $1251 which is stored in seven bank accounts belonging to Dhanuna Tillekaratne will be confiscated.

The CID is investigating if there are any additional properties owned by Dhanuna and will present the information in court soon.

The Fort Magistrate had last month ordered the CID to publish a written proclamation for Dhanuna Tillekaratne to appear in court on June 30 at 9.00 a.m. and said the proclamation must be put up in the Court premises, certain public places and near his residence.
