Rajapaksa 目前没有面临任何逮捕令。 A corruption case against him in his former role as secretary to the Defense Ministry was withdrawn when he was elected president in 2019 because of constitutional immunity.
7 月 9 日,拉贾帕克萨从总统官邸逃离,当时成千上万的人冲进大楼并占领了它以及其他几座重要的国家建筑。 7月13日,他乘坐军用飞机逃往马尔代夫,一天后飞往新加坡,并从那里宣布辞职。两周后,应斯里兰卡政府的要求,他持外交签证抵达泰国。 Rajapaksa was elected president in 2019 by an overwhelming majority on a promise to uplift the country’s economy and strengthen national security, after Islamic State-inspired bomb attacks on churches and hotels killed 270 people on Easter Sunday that year.
