The Supreme Court today supported the decision released by the Colombo High Court Trial-at-Bar on former President Maithripala Sirisenas Chief of Staff and the previous Chairman of the State Timber Corporation (STC), and validated their prison sentences over charges of accepting an allurement of Rs.
20 million.

Mahanama and former STC Chairman P.
Dissanayake, who were condemned of accepting an allurement of Rs.
20 million from an Indian business person.
The former presidential chief of personnel was sentenced to 20 years extensive imprisonment, fined Rs.
65,000 and a penalty of Rs.
20 Million on 19th December 2019 after being found guilty of soliciting a bribe of Rs.
100 million and accepting Rs.
20 million from that as an advance.
The former STC chairman was likewise condemned in the exact same bribery case and was sentenced to 12 years extensive imprisonment and enforced a fine of Rs.
55,000.
They were jailed on 03 May 2018, while accepting Rs.
20 million in significant currency notes as a gratification from an Indian citizen, who is an entrepreneur and investor who had actually gone to Sri Lanka over a financial investment chance in the Kantale Sugar Factory.
