A money laundering case filed against former parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa and five others was further postponed for December 10 by Colombo Chief Magistrate Lanka Jayaratna yesterday.
The suspects have been accused of misappropriating Rs 30 million through Gowers Corporate Services.
President’s Counsel Jayantha Weerasinghe appearing with Sampath Mendis PC and a team of lawyers for the suspects told the Magistrate that the matter had been unnecessarily postponed from time to time due to the delay in obtaining Attorney Generals opinion, and moved court to fix a longer date to call the case.
The case was postponed as the Court has not received the Attorney General’s opinion on the case.
The travel ban imposed on 4th suspect Sujani Bogollagama was also lifted.
