周二，斯里兰卡一家法院将前总统马欣达·拉贾帕克萨的长子、议员纳马尔·拉贾帕克萨，以及克里什集团前执行总监贾纳基·西里沃德纳在一起与酒店项目停滞相关的贿赂案中的羁押期延长至10月16日。
A Sri Lankan court on Tuesday extended until October 16 the remand of lawmaker Namal Rajapaksa, the eldest son of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, and former Krrish Group Executive Director Janaki Siriwardena in a bribery case linked to a stalled hotel project.
现年40岁的纳马尔此前已被羁押，当天他被带至科伦坡首席地方法院，法院随即作出了这一裁决。
Namal, 40, who is already in remand custody, was produced before the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court, which issued the order.
负责调查贿赂与腐败指控的委员会以涉嫌收受7000万斯里兰卡卢比贿赂为由对纳马尔和西里沃德纳提起诉讼，该笔款项据称与上述酒店项目有关。
The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption has filed the case against Namal and Siriwardena over an alleged bribe of 70 million Sri Lankan rupees connected to the project.
检方指控称，2013年纳马尔收受了这笔款项，而该酒店项目最终未能动工；作为父亲执政期间的权势政客，他利用自身政治影响力加速了相关审批流程。
Prosecutors have accused Namal of accepting the 70 million Sri Lankan rupees in 2013 from the hotel project, which never got off the ground. They alleged that, as a powerful politician during his father's presidency, he had used his political influence to speed up necessary approvals.
身为国际橄榄球运动员的纳马尔则辩称，这笔钱款是2014年在科伦坡举办的一场国际橄榄球赛事的赞助费。
Namal, an international rugby player, has said the money was sponsorship for an international rugby event held in Colombo in 2014.
自2013年斯里兰卡航空采购空客飞机的交易中涉嫌收受200万美元贿赂后，纳马尔自9月4日起便被羁押；一周后，他又因与该空客交易相关的另一起洗钱案再度被羁押。上周，他在一桩相关案件中获得了保释。
He has been in remand since September 4 in connection with a USD 2 million bribe in the purchase of Airbus aircraft for SriLankan Airlines in 2013. A second remand order was issued a week after the September 4 order in a separate money laundering case linked to the same Airbus deal. Last week, he was granted bail in one of the cases.
纳马尔所属的斯里兰卡人民阵线党指责政府借这些案件及持续羁押手段对他进行政治迫害；而现任人民力量政府则回应称，对反对派政客采取法律行动符合其2024年竞选时提出的净化公共生活、根除腐败的承诺。
Namal's party, the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, has accused the government of politically victimising him through the cases and his continued remand. The National People's Power government, however, has said action against opposition politicians is in line with its 2024 election pledge to clean public life and eradicate corruption.
随着此次法院裁决的生效，纳马尔与西里沃德纳将继续被羁押至10月16日，该酒店项目贿赂案的审理也将同步推进。
The latest court order keeps Namal and Siriwardena in remand until October 16 as the bribery case over the stalled hotel project continues.
