October 22, Colombo (LNW): Attorneys representing former SLPP MP Johnston Fernando have informed the Court of Appeal that their client will voluntarily appear before the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) tomorrow (23) to provide a statement regarding an unregistered luxury vehicle allegedly linked to him.
The vehicle was discovered parked at a high-end hotel in Colombo, raising questions about its ownership.
The case stems from a petition filed by Fernando, who sought legal intervention to prevent his arrest in connection with the incident.
His legal team made the announcement during a court hearing today, assuring the court of Fernando’s cooperation with the ongoing investigation.
The Court of Appeal, after hearing submissions, scheduled the petition for further consideration on October 25.
The court’s decision will be closely watched as it could impact the next steps in the investigation into the origins of the unregistered luxury vehicle.
