by AJA Abeynayake

The Colombo High Court yesterday acquitted and discharged former minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage in a money laundering case.

The case was called before Colombo High Court Judge Nawarathne Marasinghe.

Aluthgamage had been charged with failing to declare the source of funds used to purchase a luxury house worth approximately Rs. 27 million at Kynsey Road, Borella, during his tenure as a Minister.

The Attorney General had filed indictments against the former Minister, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in 2017.
