A request by the Bribery Commission to seize the property of former Minister Rajitha Senaratne, who has an outstanding warrant for his arrest, was rejected by the Colombo Chief Magistrate.

The warrant was issued for Senaratne in a case where he is accused of causing a loss of over Rs. 20 million to the government.

The alleged offence is linked to a sand mining project at the Kirinda Fisheries Harbour, which was awarded to a Korean company.

The Bribery Commission had sought an order to seize a property in Colombo, registered under Senaratne’s name and valued at over Rs. 30 million.

The Chief Magistrate advised the Commission to make the request on the next hearing date, which is the 29th, should the suspect fail to appear in court.
