By Shehan Chamika Silva

Nine cases filed against Sarana Gunawardena a former chairman of the Development Lotteries Board on charges of misappropriating state funds when obtaining vehicles on rent for the National Lotteries Board, were fixed for trial on December 6.

Colombo Additional Magistrate Aruni Attygalle fixed the trial following the amendments made by the Bribery Commission on two cases.

The prosecution sought the court to fix the trials of all cases in December since several officials who conducted the inquiry were currently abroad.

The suspect was accused under 30 counts in the nine cases under Section 70 of the Bribery Act.
