Newswire reports that the Colombo High Court heard a money-laundering case against Yoshitha Rajapaksa on October 30, when evidence was recorded. Newswire and Ada Derana report that further evidence examination is scheduled for November 12; Ada Derana’s Tamil-language report also attributes the case to the Attorney General and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

Newswire reports that the Attorney General’s case alleges Rajapaksa spent more than Rs. 73 million to buy five plots of land in Dehiwala and Ratmalana, and that prosecutors contend the transactions fall under the money-laundering law. The reports describe the allegations and do not provide an outcome of the case.

Separately, WhatNews and Sri Lanka Mirror report that the Colombo High Court on October 28 set November 23 for a case brought by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption against Rajapaksa and former Navy Commander Wasantha Karannagoda. Newsfirst reports that the court ordered the corruption trial to commence on that date; WhatNews reports that the pre-trial conference had concluded.
