October 10, 2018 04:28 pm

The case filed against former Minister, MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage, for allegedly using Rs 27 million in funds acquired illegally to purchase a house, was taken up before the Colombo High Court Judge Sampath Abeykoon today (10).

The defense attorneys cross-examined Kahawalage Douglas, the former Treasurer of Sri Lanka Independent Workers’ Congress, which was previously chaired by Mahindananda Aluthgamage.

Accordingly, further cross-examination was then postponed to October 28 by the Colombo High Court Judge.

The case against MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage has been filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act for the alleged offence of purchasing a house worth Rs. 27 million at Kynsey Road, Colombo 7, using illegally acquired money during the administration of the previous government.
