Yoshitha Rajapaksa and Grand-Aunt's Money Laundering Case Adjourned to June

New sources clarify that Daisy Forrest, co-accused in the case, is identified as Yoshitha Rajapaksa's grandmother. Additionally, it was the Deputy Solicitor General who informed the court about the related case before High Court No. 08, where a date has been fixed for the filing of amended indictments.

The Colombo High Court has postponed the money laundering case against Yoshitha Rajapaksa and Daisy Forrest Wickramasinghe (identified as his grand-aunt by one source) to June 10, 2026. The case, heard before High Court Judge Rashmi Singappuli, involves three charges alleging the deposit of over Rs. 59 million (believed to be illegally earned) into three fixed deposit accounts, violating the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The postponement was made after the State Counsel informed the court that another related case concerning the same charges had been filed before High Court No. 08, where a revised indictment has been ordered.
