Former Defence Secretary, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has returned to Sri Lanka from Singapore last night after recovering from a heart procedure.
The trial on the case filed against Gotabhaya for the alleged misappropriation of public funds in the construction of a D.A. Rajapaksa memorial museum in Hambantota is to now commence before the special High Court trial at bar from Friday (26).
The trial was postponed due to Gotabhaya’s absence and later due to medical reasons after his counsel informed court of the surgery and the need for him to recover.
Meanwhile, Gotabhaya loyalists say that he is expected to launch his presidential campaign at the August 11th special convention of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) led by his brother, former President and Opposition Leader, Mahinda Rajapaksa.
