The case filed against Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) Leader Udaya Gammanpila and Sydney Jayasinghe for allegedly misappropriating Rs. 21 million following an alleged fraudulent share transaction, was on Wednesday fixed for January 15, by the Colombo High Court.
The case was scheduled to take up before Colombo High Court Judge Pradeep Abeyrathne and it was postponed due to the absence of the High Court Judge.
The Attorney General alleged that Gammanpila had misappropriated Rs. 21 million along with Sydney Jayasinghe, when selling shares of Digital Nominees to a businessman.
The Attorney General charged that the alleged business transaction had taken place using a fraudulent Power of Attorney to sell shares belonging to Australian businessman Brian Shaddick. The AG has listed 20 persons as witnesses in the case and named 16 documents as production items in the case.
