斯里兰卡一家法院周二下令将反对派领导人纳马尔·拉贾帕克萨还押候审至10月13日，原因是一起涉及一家印度公司的克里什酒店（Krish Hotels）投资项目的新腐败案件。这是他自9月4日因另一起案件被捕以来，面临的第三份还押令。
A Sri Lankan court on Tuesday remanded opposition leader Namal Rajapaksa until October 13 in a fresh corruption case linked to the Krish Hotels investment project involving an Indian company. This is the third remand order against him since his arrest on September 4 in a separate case.
现年40岁的拉贾帕克萨是前总统马欣达·拉贾帕克萨的长子。在接受反贿赂或腐败调查委员会调查人员的质询后，他被还押候审。他被指控从该项目的当地代理商处收受了7000万斯里兰卡卢比（约合2000万印度卢比）。反贪委员会表示，这笔所谓的款项与该项目的投资审批有关。
Rajapaksa, 40, the elder son of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, was remanded after being questioned by investigators of the Commission to Investigate Bribery or Corruption over an allegation that he accepted LKR 7 crore, or around Rs 2 crore, from the local agent of the project. The anti-graft commission said the alleged payment was linked to approvals for the investment.
在同一案件中，克里什酒店董事长贾纳基·西里瓦德纳于上周四被捕，并因涉嫌贿赂拉贾帕克萨被还押至10月6日。委员会向法院表示，她曾多次向拉贾帕克萨行贿，以获取该项目的关键审批。
In the same case, Krish Hotels chairperson Janaki Siriwardena was arrested last Thursday and remanded until October 6 for allegedly bribing Rajapaksa. The commission told the court that she had allegedly bribed him on several occasions to obtain key approvals for the project.
拉贾帕克萨同时也是一名国际橄榄球运动员，他曾在2016年接受过质询，并因涉嫌挪用克里什项目的资金用于推广橄榄球运动而被提起诉讼。
Rajapaksa, who is also an international rugby player, had been questioned in 2016 and a case was filed against him over the alleged misuse of funds from the Krish project for rugby promotion.
自9月4日以来，他一直因涉嫌在2013年斯里兰卡航空公司购买空客飞机时收受200万美元（约合1.9亿印度卢比）的贿赂而被还押。一周后，他又因涉及同一空客交易的另一起洗钱案件被下达了第二份还押令。在这两起案件中，他均被拒绝保释。
He has already been in remand since September 4 in connection with an alleged USD 2 million, or around Rs 19 crore, bribe in the 2013 purchase of Airbus aircraft for SriLankan Airlines. A second remand order was issued a week later in a separate money laundering case linked to the same Airbus deal. He has been denied bail once in each of the two cases.
拉贾帕克萨所在的政党“斯里兰卡人民阵线”指责政府通过这些案件对他进行政治迫害，并对他持续实施还押。这是自国家人民力量党政府两年前上台以来，首次对前第一家庭成员实施还押。
Rajapaksa's party, the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, has accused the government of politically victimising him through the cases and his continued remand. His arrest is the first remand of a member of the former first family since the National People's Power government came to power two years ago.
政府表示，针对反对派政客的行动符合其2024年竞选承诺，即清理公共生活、根除腐败。拉贾帕克萨家族成员也面临不法指控，该家族将其描述为政治动机使然。其堂兄沙欣德拉·拉贾帕克萨目前在今年早些时候被羁押后获保释。随着周二的命令，纳马尔·拉贾帕克萨在三起独立案件中仍被羁押，其中包括最新一起与克里什酒店项目有关的案件。据印度新闻社报道——完
The government has said action against opposition politicians is in line with its 2024 election pledge to clean public life and eradicate corruption. Members of the Rajapaksa family have also faced allegations of wrongdoing, which the family has described as politically motivated. His cousin Shashindra Rajapaksa is currently out on bail after being remanded earlier this year. With Tuesday's order, Namal Rajapaksa remains in custody in three separate cases, including the latest one linked to the Krish Hotels project.
