The Colombo High Court today rejected a petition filed by former Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa and seven others seeking that they be released from all charges in the Avant-Garde case.
The Bribery Commission had filed a corruption case against Mr Rajapaksa and seven others for allegedly causing a Rs.11.4 billion unlawful loss to the government when giving permission to Avant-Garde Maritime Services to operate a floating armory.
The former defence secretary and seven others had filed a revision petition in the High Court challenging the decision by the Colombo Chief Magistrate to reject preliminary objections raised by them regarding the Avant-Garde case.
