Namal Further Remanded as Court Seeks CID Clarification on Bail

Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) National Organiser and MP Namal Rajapaksa, who is in remand custody over his alleged involvement in the Airbus deal, has been further remanded until 30 September by the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court.

The court had been scheduled to deliver its order today (23) on Rajapaksa’s bail application.

However, the Magistrate directed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to clarify several matters relating to the bail application and submit the relevant information to court on 30 September.

The Magistrate said the court would deliver its order on the bail application thereafter.
