Controversial self-proclaimed Sri Lankan Prophet Jerome Fernando who spent Christmas behind bars at the Welikada Remand Prison in Colombo, was ordered to be further remanded till the 3rd of January 2024 when his case was taken up in court on Wednesday.
Apart from the alleged offending remarks on other religious faiths, Fernando has also become a person of interest into a police investigation on money laundering after millions of rupees were found in bank accounts belonging to him, his family and other proxies.
Fernando has maintained that the funds were received from his faithful, both in the country and overseas.
