Former Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam and an employee of his fuel station, who were remanded over allegations of corruption, have been ordered to be released on bail by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court.
Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama issued the order after considering submissions made by officials of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) and the lawyers representing the suspects.
The Magistrate ordered each suspect to be released on two surety bails of Rs. 500,000 each and imposed a travel ban on both suspects. (Newswire)
