Rohitha Bogollagama remanded until the conclusion of the trial
Regarding Rohitha Bogollagama
What happened?
After the Bribery Commission arrested Rohitha Bogollagama on an open Colombo High Court warrant on 7 October 2026, he was produced before High Court Judge Rashantha Godawela. The judge ordered him remanded in custody until the conclusion of the trial, after considering the Bribery Commission's submissions. Reports say the warrant followed his repeated failure to appear in court in a corruption case brought by the Commission.
They do not name the case, give a case number or report a next date; the only known Colombo High Court prosecution against him is the Commission's 2020 case over about Rs. 1.5 million of BOI London exhibition spending, so the link is inferred.
What changed?
He has moved from arrest to remand: he is now held in custody pending the end of the trial. This is a custody order, not a finding of guilt, and the allegations are unproven.
What happens next?
No confirmed next step yet. No next hearing date or bail application has been reported.
