The Colombo High Court (HC) yesterday (30 April) acquitted and released former Minister and incumbent Government Parliamentarian Mahindananda Aluthgamage from the money laundering case filed against him.
The case was called before Colombo HC Judge Nawaratne Marasinghe.
Aluthgamage had been charged for allegedly failing to declare the source of funds used to purchase a luxury house worth approximately Rs. 27 million down Kynsey Road in Borella during his tenure as a Minister.
The Attorney General had filed indictments against Aluthgamage under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in 2017.
