Former Minister Rajitha Senaratne Appears in Colombo High Court

Date:

Former Minister Rajitha Senaratne, who has been the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant, appeared before the Colombo High Court today (29).

He is facing a case filed by the Bribery Commission, which was scheduled to be taken up before Colombo High Court Judge Lanka Jayaratne today. In addition, another case against him is also due to be heard later in the day at the Colombo Magistrate’s Court.

Police sources noted that despite months of efforts, authorities had previously been unable to locate Senaratne in order to execute the arrest warrant. His appearance in court today marks the first time he has presented himself following those attempts.
