Former Minister of Health Keheliya Rambukwella, his wife Kusum Priyadarshini Epa, and their daughter Chandula Ramali Rambukwella who were granted bail by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court, have been remanded due to their failure to fulfil the bail conditions.
The trio was produced before the court today (18), following their arrest by officers of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) in connection with an investigation conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
They were subsequently granted bail after being produced before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court. The order was issued by Colombo Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali.
Each suspect was ordered to be released on a cash bail of Rs. 50,000 and three surety bails amounting to Rs. 5 million each. The Colombo Chief Magistrate also imposed an overseas travel ban on former Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, his wife, and their daughter.
However, as the suspects failed to fulfill the bail conditions, they were remanded.
