The Court of Appeal today refused to issue an interim order preventing Colombo High Court from recording evidence in a case filed against former Parliamentarian Sajin de Vass Gunawardena under Money Laundering Act.
The Court of Appeal made this order pursuant to a revision application filed by Sajin de Vass Gunawardena challenging an order issued by Colombo High Court to reject an objection raised by defence.
MP Sajin de Vass Gunawardena has been indicted by the Attorney General (AG) on the charge of money laundering amounting to over Rs.306.26 million, under Section 3 [1] [a] of Money Laundering Act No 05 of 2006 as amended by Act No 40 of 2011.
However, the Court of Appeal decided to fix the revision application for argument on July 3.
President's Counsel Shavindra Fernando appeared for Sajin de Vass Gunawardena.
