Court orders steps to be taken for release of Namal’s car
The Kaduwela Magistrate’s Court today issued instructions to carry out
the preliminary process, within 3 weeks, for the release of the luxury
sports car which had previously belonged to MP Namal Rajapaksa and later
sold to another individual.
The Police Financial Crimes Investigations Division (FCID) had filed a
case after the car in question, a Ford Mustang, was discovered at a
garage in the Kaduwela area.
When the case was taken up today before magistrate Prasanna Alwis,
defence counsel Premanath C. Dolawatta requested the court to issue an
order to release the vehicle as it is being exposed to sun and rain and
is eroding at one place at the impound.
However, the state counsel had raised objections to the request citing
the fact that investigations pertaining to the case are still ongoing.
The defence attorney pointed out that it was regrettable that the
vehicle is eroding away when a suspect has not even been named with the
case which has been filed over the vehicle.
After taking into consideration the facts presented before the court,
the magistrate ordered that preliminary steps be taken within 3 week for
the release of the vehicle while the case was postponed to August 31.
