President Ranil Wickremesinghe has publicly declared his innocence in connection with the bond fraud charges. Speaking at a recent meeting in Colombo, he emphasized that he has been acquitted of all allegations related to the bond fraud by both the High Court and the Courts of Appeal.
Wickremesinghe asserted that if he had been involved in the fraud, the High Court’s acquittal would not have been possible. He reiterated his stance that he had no involvement in the bond deal, and any claims to the contrary are unfounded.
This statement comes as part of his broader effort to address lingering accusations and clarify his position on the controversial issue.
