The Attorney General has filed indictments in the Colombo High Court against Yoshitha Rajapaksa and his grandmother, Daisy Forrest Wickremesinghe, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Yoshitha is the second son of former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

The Attorney General asserts that this constitutes an offence under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
