FCID probes money laundering charges against Namal Rajapaksa
The Police Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) today submitted a report to the Colombo Magistrate's Court that an investigation had been launched regarding eight individuals, including Hambantota District MP Namal Rajapaksa over allegations of money laundering.
The complaint regarding the individuals had been lodged by Voice Against Corruption (VOC) member and JVP North Central Provincial Councilor Wasantha Samarasinghe.
According to the complaint, a company allegedly headed by MP Namal Rajapaksa had purchased shares of another company using money obtained through illicit methods in violation of the Money Laundering Act.
In its report, the FCID had also sought permission to freeze four bank accounts connected to the case and to issue an order prohibiting individuals connected to the case, excluding Namal Rajapaksa, from leaving the country.
Accordingly, Colombo Additional Magistrate Nishantha Pieris issued an order freezing the said bank accounts and preventing the individuals from leaving the country.
