Namal Rajapaksa: Unfinished Business and Ongoing Allegations

Namal Rajapaksa, elder son of former Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa, faces legal scrutiny as he's indicted for alleged financial misconduct related to an Indian investment before 2015. Currently, a member of parliament, Rajapaksa and his family claim the legal actions are politically motivated. His case continues in March.

Namal Rajapaksa, the eldest son of former Sri Lankan leader Mahinda Rajapaksa, has been legally charged by the High Court in a case involving the alleged misappropriation of funds from an Indian investment prior to 2015.

Currently serving as a member of parliament for the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, he is the only Rajapaksa actively holding a political position amid accusations of a political witch hunt.

The legal proceedings are set to advance in March. Namal, a former international rugby player, was initially arrested in 2016 for allegedly diverting funds worth 70 million Rupees from the Krrish Hotel project into rugby development. The project, situated in Colombo, remains incomplete to date.
