Sajin granted bail
March 31, 2015
The Colombo Fort Magistrate on Tuesday (31) granted bail to MP Sajin de
Vass Gunawardena on a case filed by the Bribery Commission over failure
to declare his assets.
He was released on a Rs 50,000 cash bail and Rs 1 million personal bail
while the UPFA Parliamentarian was also prohibited from leaving the
country.
The case will taken up again on September 01.
On March 20, the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or
Corruption filed the case against Mr Gunawardena under section 9 of the
Declaration of Assets and Liabilities Law No. 1 on 1975.
Sri Lanka’s anti-corruption body has so far barred the Parliamentarian
and former central bank governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal from leaving the
country because of corruption complaints.
On January 22, the Bribery Commission issued a directive to the
Department of Immigration and Emigration (DIE) to seize the passports of
Mr Gunawardena and that of Mr Cabraal.
This came after the The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) lodged a
complaint with the Bribery Commission against 12 former governmental
members including former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Both have rejected allegations they misused public funds.
