73岁的希兰蒂·拉贾帕克萨于周三在科伦坡住所被反腐部门逮捕，罪名是涉嫌挪用儿童医院慈善捐款1。她所关联的慈善机构Siriliya Saviya筹集的1000万卢比（约30,300美元）原本用于为Lady Ridgeway儿童医院购买专用扫描仪，但该设备已由中国政府捐赠1。拉贾帕克萨否认不当行为，声称相关款项仍保存在账户中1。
这位前第一夫人于周一从新加坡返回斯里兰卡1，此前曾提交法院请愿书阻止被捕，听证会定于10月12日1。现任政府正在复审拉贾帕克萨家族的多起腐败案件1。其长子Namal Rajapaksa因飞机采购交易腐败指控今年早些时候被捕并处于还押状态，其弟Yoshitha也因腐败指控在今年早些时候被捕1。
Sri Lanka's former first lady Hiranthi Rajapaksa was arrested on Wednesday by anti-corruption authorities at her residence in Colombo on suspicion of misappropriating charitable donations 1. The 73-year-old is accused of improper handling of 10 million rupees (approximately $30,300) collected through the Siriliya Saviya charity organization, which was intended to purchase a specialized scanner for Lady Ridgeway Children's Hospital in Colombo 1. However, the scanner was ultimately donated by the Chinese government, raising questions about the designated use of the funds 1.
Rajapaksa has denied any wrongdoing, asserting that the funds remain in the charity's account 1. She had returned to Sri Lanka from Singapore on Monday, just days before her arrest 1. A court petition seeking to prevent her detention was filed, with a hearing scheduled for October 12 1. The arrest is part of a broader anti-corruption campaign by the current government targeting her family; her eldest son Namal Rajapaksa was arrested earlier this year on corruption charges related to an aircraft procurement deal and remains in custody, while her brother Yoshitha was also arrested on corruption allegations earlier in the year 1.
