Wave of Investigations Targets Sri Lanka's Rajapaksa Dynasty
Sri Lankan authorities are pursuing a series of corruption and criminal investigations against members and allies of the Rajapaksa family, which dominated the island's politics for nearly two decades. Former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa was arrested last week, weeks after her son Namal was taken into custody on bribery charges, as the government of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake presses its anti-corruption pledge.
