Colombo High Court Issues Arrest Warrant for Former Minister Johnston Fernando Over Bribery Case

The Colombo High Court has issued an arrest warrant for former Minister Johnston Fernando after he failed to appear in court for a case filed by the Bribery Commission. The warrant follows Fernando’s absence in connection with the ongoing legal proceedings.

In a related development, Fernando was seen at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) earlier today to give a statement regarding the use of an illegally assembled luxury vehicle. He had informed the Court of Appeal yesterday that he would cooperate with authorities about the vehicle, a BMW, which was recently seized by law enforcement while parked at a prominent hotel in Colombo.
