The claim
A photo shows Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith travelling in Europe with the son of Chief Justice Preethi Padman Surasena.
Original review summary
The review identifies the man in the photo as Fr. Shashika Manoj Rodrigo, the Cardinal’s secretary, not one of the Chief Justice’s sons. It says Rodrigo and an Archdiocese of Colombo spokesperson confirmed his identity and that he has no family relationship with the Chief Justice.[S1]
