The Colombo Fort Magistrate's Court re-issued an open warrant on former Sri Lanka Ambassador to the US, Jaliya Wickramasuriya.
Warrants were also re-issued for Wickramsuriya's wife and a relative. Wickramasuriya has been charged with misappropriating USD132,000 during the purchase of an office building in the US.

The case will be taken up once again on January9, 2019.
