An independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal found Lokuhettige guilty of three offences
Former Sri Lanka allrounder Dilhara Lokuhettige has been found guilty of three offences under the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.
Lokuhettige has been slapped with three corruption charges – these by the ICC’s own Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) – in April 2019, five months after the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) had also charged him.
Lokuhettige was provisionally suspended by the ICC in November when the ECB laid its charges. The November allegations relate to the 2017 T10 tournament, to which Sri Lanka had sent a team.
An independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal found Lokuhettige guilty of:
- Article 2.1.1 – for being party to an agreement or effort to fix or contrive or otherwise influence improperly the result, progress, conduct or other aspect(s) of a match.
- Article 2.1.4 – Directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, enticing, instructing, persuading, encouraging or intentionally facilitating any Participant to breach Code Article 2.1.
- Article 2.4.4 – Failing to disclose to the ACU full details of any approaches or invitations received to engage in corrupt conduct under the Code.
