Sri Lanka, July 23 -- Former Sri Lankan Ambassador to United States Jaliya Wickramasuriya who was accused of criminal misappropriation of US$ 332,000 was issued warrants by Fort Magistrate Pasan Amarasena.

As the suspect living in Virginia State in the US failed appear in Court when the case was called before the court, the magistrate issued the warrant while warning the sureties who appeared in Court yesterday.

The lawyers who appeared on behalf of Wickramasuriya told Court that a case is going on in the Columbia District Court relevant to the same matter and he has been barred from travelling abroad by the same Court. The case was fixed for December 9 for further instructions from the Attorney General.
