The Colombo High Court has postponed further evidence hearings in the money laundering case filed against Yoshitha Rajapaksa, son of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, until 24 July.

During proceedings, prosecution witnesses gave evidence while defence counsel President’s Counsel Sampath Mendis cross-examined them.

The case, filed by the Attorney General, alleges that Yoshitha Rajapaksa committed an offence under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act through the purchase of five land plots in Dehiwala and Ratmalana valued at over Rs. 73 million.
