Yoshitha Rajapaksa , who was remanded two days ago, was produced before the Colombo Magistrates Court today and released on bail.
The Court ordered for Yoshitha Rajapaksa o be released on two surety bails of LKR 50 million.
Last week (25 Jan), Yoshitha Rajapaksa was arrested by CID officers in the Beliatta area and produced before Aluthkade No. 5 Additional Magistrate Pavithra Sanjeevani.
He was then remanded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act until January 27 after being produced before the Colombo Additional Magistrate.
Rajapaksa was arrested following a statement he had made at the CID when he was summoned earlier that week, upon which the Attorney General notified the CID on January 23, stating there was sufficient evidence for Yoshitha Rajapaksa to be named as a respondent in a land case valued at Rs. 34 million.
