The Attorney General has re-indicted former Minister of Economic Development Basil Rajapaksa and former Director General of Divi Neguma Department Kithsiri Ranawaka in the Colombo High Court today (7th).
They are charged of misappropriating Rs.29 million belonging to the Divi Neguma by printing 5 million almanacs with former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s photograph.
The indictment filed earlier against Basil Rajapaksa and Kithsiri Ranawaka was withdrawn citing technical errors.
As a result of the withdrawal of the indictment Basil Rajapaksa and Kithsiri Ranawaka were released. However, with the new indictment the duo would be tried again.
