Sujani Bogollagama Arrested Over Money Laundering Case, Released On Bail

The FCID arrested Sujani Bogollagama over the lleged money laundering at NR Consultency and Gowers Corporation and produced her before Colombo Additional Magistrate Nishantha Peiris.

The Additional Magistrate decided to release her on a cash bail of Rs 100,000 and four sureties of Rs 10 million each. She was also imposed a foreign travel ban. These are the same conditions on which bail was given to Namal Rajapaksa and two others in the case.

Bogollagama was the Managing Director of both companies. However Bogollagama's lawyers said that she was a paid employee and not an executive officer of the company.

The FCID alleged that she had evaded arrest by admitting herself to hospital. However, the Magistrate considered the medical reports filed by the defence and said the court will have to consider what is before it. Furthermore, the Magistrate commended the fact that Bogollagama had been represented by an attorney throughout the court hearings.
