O fostă primă doamnă, arestată într-un dosar de deturnare a donațiilor pentru un spital de copii

Shiranthi Rajapaksa, former First Lady of Sri Lanka, was arrested for allegedly misappropriating donations meant for a children's hospital. The investigation focuses on over $30,000 raised by her charity, which was intended for a specialized CT scanner. However, officials claim a similar scanner was already donated by the Chinese government. Rajapaksa denies any wrongdoing and asserts that the funds are secure. This arrest comes amid renewed anti-corruption efforts by the current government, following widespread protests against the Rajapaksa family. Her son, Namal, and another brother have also faced legal issues related to corruption.
