Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa arrived at the Colombo High Court a short while ago for the hearing of the bail application of five individuals arrested for alleged money laundering at the Carlton Sports Network.

His second son Yoshitha Rajapaksa are among the suspects in remand custody.

They were arrested by the FCID on January 30 and were remanded by the Kaduwela Magistrate.

Rajapaksa's Media Coordinator Rohan Welivita and former CSN CEO Nishantha Ranatunga are also among the arrested individuals.
