Namal's acquittal case postponed to July 30 due to the Attorney General not providing instructions.

The Colombo Magistrate's Court has ordered the case related to the investigation against Member of Parliament Namal Rajapaksa under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to be recalled on July 30.

Today (29), when the case was called before Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama, four individuals including Mr. Namal Rajapaksa appeared before the court as suspects.

There, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) informed the court that the Attorney General's instructions regarding this incident have not yet been received.

Accordingly, the Magistrate ordered the case to be recalled on July 30, and also directed that the court be informed of the Attorney General's instructions on that day.

This investigation is being conducted based on a complaint filed in 2016. The complaint alleges that Mr. Namal Rajapaksa, by operating a company, committed an offense under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act by laundering illicitly earned money as a Member of Parliament.
