The Kaduwela Magistrate’s Court has imposed an overseas travel ban on Daisy Forrest Wickremesinghe, also known as ‘Daisy Achchi’, the grandmother of Yoshitha Rajapaksa, in connection with a money laundering case.

Police Media Spokesman SSP Buddhika Manathunga stated that, under the Attorney General’s instructions, Daisy Forrest was named a suspect in the case. Investigations into a Rs. 59 million joint account held by Yoshitha Rajapaksa and Daisy Forrest revealed that Rajapaksa failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the source of funds.
