Accordingly, Nalaka Edirisinghe, Jeewaka Edirisinghe, Anjalee Edirisinghe and Asanka Edirisinghe were released on a cash bail of Rs. 100,000 and two personal bails of Rs. 5 million each.

They were also served indictments when the case was taken up before High Court Judge Manjula Thilakaratne this morning.

In January this year, the four suspects were taken into custody on charges of criminal misappropriation, cheating, money laundering and other offences.
