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.

They are all upto mischief. How can you get a house in kynsey road for 27 million. Probably 270 million and also everyone knows how they get these moneys. However all these culprits are acquitted and released from case before next election.

Bandara - Servant of Ranil Tuesday, 30 April 2024 01:56 PM

When Mahinananda Aluthgamage visited Ranil several occasions to his residence, we knew it is for a reason. Last month every Tuesdays he had an appointment with RW in a secret room. Yes, now Ranil saved him from all court cases against him interfering with the judicial. Then where the law stands in SriLanka.

Yes the verdict made easy by CIABOC filing half baked cases leaving loopholes to fool us. This was a yahapalaya tactic. All cases filed so far have been acquittals.

DID THE INVESTIGATION GO THROUGH ALL HIS BANK STATEMENT RECORDS AND WAS HE ABLE TO CONFIRM WHERE THE PROCEEDS CAME FROM, PROOF OF THE FUNDS ACCUMILATED IN HIS ACCOUNT/S OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS AND WHERE THIS MONEY WAS HELD PRIOR TO PURCHASE. ANOTHER SCUMBAG OFF THE HOOK

Few years back it transpired in his Divorce case how he started life as a Sales Rep and his assets at the time of the Divorce as a politician. I cannot see how he explained LKR 27 Million to purchase a house. Further it appear to me that the house is undervalued. I wonder if the case was prosecuted with a will to receive a conviction?

RW is popular for such cases for the last 50 years in politics! He cannot associate with any Kappamas, horas, money launders, rapists, drug dealers! The best this is to acquit them from the court! WANDA PUL - RW - WONDA PUL!! Come agin and eat this country as Ambul Thiyal!!

Monthly Salary slips proves his innocence! Tuesday, 30 April 2024 05:14 PM

By the way Did Mahindananda provide salary slips to courts to prove that he amassed the 27 million legally, without spending a single rupee even for food or tea? What a thrifty man, who can set an example to all other MPs? Was he not responsible to prove he is innocent?

Yesterday it was Vas Gunawardane. Today its Mahindananda. Now the CIABOC and the AG's department have two choices before them. Apologize to the acquitted politicians for implicating them without sufficient evidence or tender an apology to the general public for not having the will to prosecute politicians.

To be a judge in SL, one has to have only one qualification ... ability to say "nidoskota nidahas"!

We have to wait for the NPP to see justice in the country, because currently the system is run by criminal politicians.
