High Court Schedules Pre-Trial Conference in Namal Rajapaksa ‘Krrish’ Case
The Colombo High Court has directed that the case filed by the Attorney General against Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa, in connection with the controversial ‘Krrish’ project, be taken up for a pre-trial conference on December 18.
When the matter was called before court today, MP Namal Rajapaksa was present, according to the Ada Derana court correspondent.
Following a review of the proceedings, the presiding Judge ordered that the original case record maintained by the Fort Magistrate’s Court be summoned.
The Attorney General has instituted legal action against Rajapaksa under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The allegations state that the parliamentarian unlawfully accepted Rs. 70 million from the Indian company ‘Krrish’, purportedly for the promotion of rugby in Sri Lanka.
