No Obstacle Against Arresting Namal Rajapaksa Over Gowers Case: Magistrate

The FCID has no obstacle against arresting the suspects regarding the alleged money laundering at the Gowers Corporate Services (Pvt) Ltd, Colombo Additional Magistrae observed today.

The FCID earlier informed court that six individuals including Namal Rajapaksa have been named suspects.

The Magistrate observed that since they are suspected for offences under the money laundering act, they could be taken in to custody even without a warrant.

The investigation by the FCID is being carried out on a complaint by Voice Against Corruption Convener Wasantha Samarasinghe. The complaint alleges that Rajapaksa bought shares of a company named Hellocorp while being a MP, from the money he has earned by illegal means.
