Former Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapaksa's son, Attorney-at-Law Rahitha Rajapaksa, and three others were arrested by the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption and Corruption and produced before the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court, where they were remanded until July 3. They were accused of demanding and receiving a large sum of money as a bribe from the wife of notorious underworld leader 'Harak Gatta' in order to provide illegal assistance. The bribery scandal began in Dubai in 2023, when they initially demanded a bribe of Rs. 50 crore from 'Harak Gatta's' wife Madushika Madhuwandi. Later, the amount was reduced to Rs. 20 crore, of which they received an advance of Rs. 12 crore. In this context, it is said that the bribe was received on the pretext of preventing the killing of 'Harak Gatta' by the police, removing his detention order and transferring him to another prison instead of Bhuza Prison, and freeing him from interrogation.
