CIABOC Files Revision Application To Overturn Order Granting Bail To Rakhitha Rajapaksa

COLOMBO (News 1st) - The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has filed a revision application with the Colombo High Court, seeking an order to set aside the order to grant bail to three suspects, including Rakhitha Rajapaksa, son of former Minister of Justice Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe, and Charith Abeysinghe.

The three suspects were arrested on charges of accepting a bribe of Rs. 120 million from the wife of organized crime figure and drug trafficker Harak Kata. 

The suspects were released on bail by the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court on July 28.

CIABOC is seeking to have the bail order vacated through the revision application.
