The Colombo High Court has deferred the continued hearing of evidence in the money laundering case filed against Yoshitha Rajapaksa under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, with proceedings now scheduled to resume on November 12.
High Court Judge Udesh Ranatunga oversaw Wednesday's hearing, during which evidence was recorded as part of the ongoing examination in the case. Following the submission of evidence, the court ordered the adjournment to allow for further proceedings at the scheduled date.
The case against the former political figure relates to alleged breaches of anti-money laundering legislation. The adjournment extends the legal proceedings as the court continues its examination of the evidence presented by prosecution authorities.
Further details regarding the specific evidence heard or the nature of the allegations are expected to emerge when the case resumes next month.
