A Sri Lankan court on Friday granted bail to Danuna Tilakaratne, the son-in-law of former Chief of Army Staff and Democratic Party leader Sarath Fonseka after he surrendered before the court.
Colombo High Court judge Iranganie Perera released Tilakaratne, who appeared in court through legal counsel, on a cash bail of Rs. 400,000 and two sureties, reports the Lanka Page.
Tilakaratne, who as the president of Hicorp International and the British Borneo Defence, is accused of earning profits from arms procurement deals of the army that were awarded to him by General (Retired) Fonseka during the war with the LTTE.
He had been evading arrest since 2010.
