Is he also among the group that went to Dubai for the deal?
Investigations have revealed that Lasantha Wickramasekera alias ‘Midigama Lasa’, the chairman of the Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha who was recently shot dead by a member of a rival underworld gang in the Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha on October 22nd last year, was a powerful member of Harakkata’s gang.
It has now been revealed that Midigama Lasa acted as an intermediary in the transfer of Rs. 1200 lakhs from Harakkata to Rakhita Rajapaksa and his group.
Harakkata's wife says that Rakhita Rajapaksa and his group had received this money on the pretext of helping in several matters including preventing Harakkata's murder, transferring him from Boossa Prison to another prison, and clearing him of the charges against him.
These financial transactions took place in 2023. At that time, Midigama Lasa had not been elected as the Chairman of the Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha.
Information has now been received that Midigama Lasa had also joined the team that went to Dubai to discuss this financial transaction.
Rakhita Rajapaksa, Charith Abeysinghe and Aruna Sri Chathuranga, a former director of the Civil Aviation Authority, have also been remanded in custody in connection with the bribery incident from Harakkata.
