January 27, Colombo (LNW): Yoshitha Rajapaksa has been granted bail by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court following his arrest in connection with a money laundering investigation.

The court set his bail conditions at two surety bonds, each valued at Rs. 50 million.

The decision to grant bail comes after Rajapaksa was remanded earlier this week as part of the ongoing investigation into his alleged involvement in illicit financial activities.
