Yoshitha Rajapaksa’s Money Laundering Case to Proceed; Trial Set for August 31

The high-profile money laundering case against Yoshitha Rajapaksa is set to move forward, sparking intense discussion within Sri Lanka’s political arena after the High Court fixed a definitive date for the trial.
The defense had previously filed a petition with the Court of Appeal, seeking an order to dismiss the case on the grounds that it could not be maintained. However, following a thorough examination of the petition, the Court of Appeal ruled that there are sufficient grounds for the case to proceed.
Consequent to this ruling, the High Court has scheduled the trial to commence on August 31.
