The Colombo High Court has postponed the trial against Yoshitha Rajapaksa under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

The case was postponed after the President’s Counsel representing the defence was unable to appear. Rajapaksa, who is currently out on bail, appeared before court today (2).

The Attorney General alleges that Rajapaksa committed an offence by purchasing five plots of land in Dehiwala and Ratmalana valued at more than Rs. 73 million
