Colombo, April 30 (Daily Mirror) - Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Parliamentarian Mahindananda Aluthgamage was today acquitted and released from the money laundering case by the Colombo High Court.
The Attorney General had filed this case against Aluthgamage for allegedly purchasing a house worth Rs. 27 million at Kynsey Road, Colombo 7 over a complaint that he had allegedly purchased properties through illegally acquired money for committing a predicate offence coming under the Bribery Act.
Colombo High Court Judge Navaratne Marasinghe held that the prosecution has failed to prove the accused' guilt beyond reasonable doubts.
