Sri Lanka’s anti-bribery authorities arrest Yoshitha Rajapaksa, the son of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, on Wednesday as part of an investigation into his recruitment to the Sri Lanka Navy and later government-funded overseas training, according to local media and the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC). Reports say Rajapaksa, 38, appears before investigators after voluntarily presenting a statement and is then taken into custody. The inquiry focuses on allegations that he was recruited in 2006 as a naval cadet despite not meeting required academic qualifications, particularly in science and mathematics, and on whether recruitment rules were followed or exceptions were granted. Separate reporting also says investigators examine whether procedures were followed in approving his overseas training at the British Royal Naval College, which sources say was funded by the Sri Lankan government. After the arrest, a Colombo court later grants him bail while imposing a travel ban, as investigations continue. Authorities have not announced any formal findings or charges in the reports.
