Harbi's testimony implicates Wijeyadasa and Sagala in the Rakitha-Charith bribery incident.

Information about a large-scale plan to obtain a bribe of Rs. 120 million (1200 lakhs) from the wife of Nadun Chinthaka Wickramaratne, also known as 'Harak Kata', a large-scale drug trafficker, to prevent his assassination, remove his detention orders, and transfer him from Boossa Prison to a regular prison, has been revealed to the court by the Bribery Commission. During investigations related to this incident, names of the country's top politicians, ministry officials, and high-ranking police chiefs, including Mr. Sagala Ratnayake, who served as the Chief of Staff to former President Ranil Wickremesinghe and Senior Advisor on National Security, have reportedly been mentioned.

According to the facts presented to the court by the Bribery Commission, this large-scale corruption scheme was revealed through the statement given by Herath Mudiyanselage Konaragedara Nirmaan Indrajith Bandara, also known as 'Herbi', the main witness in the incident. The witness described how the suspects, lawyer Rakhitha Nirmal Rajapaksa, son of former Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapaksa, and Charith Abeysinghe, met him in Dubai and formulated these bribery plans with Harak Kata's wife. The suspects reportedly intimidated Harak Kata's wife by reminding her of what happened to 'Makandure Madush', who was previously killed while in police custody, and proceeded to obtain these funds.

According to the witness's statement, the suspects stated that Rs. 5 million (500 lakhs) should be given to the then Inspector General of Police, Deshabandu Tennakoon, to ensure Harak Kata's life safety. They also stated that another Rs. 5 million (500 lakhs) should be given to the then Presidential Secretary, Saman Ekanayake, to remove Harak Kata's detention order (DO) within three months, and since he does not directly accept money, that task would be accomplished through Mr. Sagala Ratnayake via another method, the suspects told Harak Kata's wife. Additionally, these bribe monies were segmented as Rs. 5 million (500 lakhs) for officials of the Ministry of Justice and Prisons to transfer Harak Kata to a regular prison like Kegalle Prison, and another Rs. 5 million (500 lakhs) for officials including Prasad Ranasinghe and Thusitha Kahagalla, who are at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for matters related to Harak Kata.

During these discussions, the suspect Rakhitha Rajapaksa stated that he would handle all matters that needed to be done on behalf of his father and the Attorney General's Department, and therefore requested that the money be prepared as soon as possible. Initially, a sum of Rs. 30 million (3000 lakhs) was requested, but after Harak Kata's wife stated that she did not have that much money, it was later reduced to Rs. 20 million (2000 lakhs), from which Rs. 12 million (1200 lakhs) was requested as an advance. Accordingly, Harak Kata's wife first brought Dirham currency worth Rs. 10 million (1000 lakhs) to 'Herbi's' house, and the suspects Rakhitha Rajapaksa, Charith, and Aruna arranged to send that money to Sri Lanka through the Undiyal system. Later, Dirham currency worth another Rs. 2 million (200 lakhs) was also given to them.

However, as none of the promised tasks were fulfilled by the suspects, Harak Kata's wife demanded the return of the money she had given. At that point, suspect Charith Abeysinghe stated that a portion of the money had been given to Rakhitha Rajapaksa and therefore could not be retrieved. It was further revealed during investigations that based on subsequent agreements, they arranged to return only Rs. 2 million (200 lakhs) to Harak Kata's wife through a friend of Charith, and based on this statement presented to the court by the Bribery Commission, further investigations are actively underway.
