Sri Lanka’s ex-First Lady held over corruption
The Sri Lankan Anti-Corruption Commission has detained former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa on charges of misusing charitable organization donations to raise 10 million rupees (approximately $30,300) for the purchase of a medical imaging device for a children's hospital, despite the organization already receiving a donation from the Chinese government and having purchased the equipment. Shiranthi was summoned for investigation after returning from Singapore, where she was undergoing treatment, and she was detained to question her about the organization's donations and allegations of financial misconduct and abuse. Her family denies the accusations, asserting that they are politically motivated. Her son also faces legal issues related to an aircraft purchase deal, and the family considers the charges to be political, aimed at diminishing their influence in the country.
