Sri Lanka has been undergoing a very bad phase recently, with the lack of proper political infrastructure. The Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's government, which came to power last year after pledging to act against corruption, was later found entangled in a larger web of corruption.
Sri Lankan authorities have planned to arrest the country's former men's national cricket team captain, Arjuna Ranatunga, on charges related to corruption during his time as the petroleum minister of the country.
This case is also part of the massive Ranatunga brothers scam, which is part of the broader crackdown by the government in Sri Lanka, which crashed following corruption charges being levied on them.
Here's what the Investigative Commission's report found
"The total loss to the state from 27 purchases is 800 million rupees," the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption told the court, as reported by news agency AFP. The amount was found to be equivalent to over $5 million at the time when the deals were made 8 years back in 2017.
One of the Ranatunga brothers was already arrested last month in Sri Lanka
While granting the bail, the magistrate imposed a travel ban on Dhammika since the elder brother of the former Sri Lankan captain holds dual citizenship of both Sri Lanka and the United States.
The only brother of the Ranatungas left is the former Sri Lanka captain, who has also been linked with the web of corruption and will be arrested anytime soon, while the next hearing for the case of his elder brother is scheduled for the 13th of March.
