The corruption case against former Parliamentarian A. H. M. Fowzie for allegedly causing an unlawful loss to the Government by misusing a vehicle belonging to the Disaster Management Centre was yesterday postponed to May 11 by Colombo Chief Magistrate Buddhika Sri Ragala.
The Magistrate ordered the Bribery Commission to report facts for the continuation of the case on the next calling date.
The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption Director General had filed the corruption case against the former State Minister under Section 70 of the Bribery Act on four charges.
The Bribery Commission alleged that Fowzie had unlawfully used a Land Cruiser jeep belonging to the Disaster Management Centre between 2010 and 2015, while he was serving as a Senior Minister during the previous regime.
The value of the vehicle was estimated at Rs. 19.5 million.
