Three of Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen's children died in the attack on the Shangri-La hotel, while the family had been holidaying there.

In the wake of the attacks, Sri Lankan authorities pointed to a "major intelligence lapse".
袭击发生后,斯里兰卡当局指出存在“重大情报失误”。
Its parliament heard that a tip-off from India about the attacks was not properly shared with the authorities. In 2023, the Supreme Court ordered former president Maithripala Sirisena to pay millions in compensation to the victims of the bombings, after finding him responsible for national security failures that led to the attacks.
该国议会获悉,来自印度的有关袭击事件的举报没有适当地通报给当局。 2023 年,最高法院裁定前总统迈特里帕拉·西里塞纳 (Maithripala Sirisena) 对导致袭击的国家安全失误负有责任,并下令他向爆炸事件的受害者支付数百万美元的赔偿。
Last month, two former senior officials were sentenced to death for criminal negligence that led to the bombings.
上个月,两名前高级官员因导致爆炸事件的刑事过失被判处死刑。
Death sentences are usually commuted to life in prison in Sri Lanka due to a decades-old moratorium on executions. For years, Sri Lankans have held regular demonstrations demanding justice for the victims of the Easter attacks.
由于几十年来暂停执行死刑,斯里兰卡的死刑通常会被改判为无期徒刑。 多年来,斯里兰卡人定期举行示威活动,要求为复活节袭击事件的受害者伸张正义。
The verdict comes as a separate investigation into former intelligence chief Suresh Sallay is under way.
该判决发布之际,针对前情报局长苏雷什·萨莱的单独调查正在进行中。
Sallay is accused of orchestrating the bombings with Islamist extremists. The allegations echo those aired in a 2023 documentary by British broadcaster Channel 4, which heard whistleblower testimony claiming the attacks were allowed to happen to boost the popularity of the Rajapaksa family, which long dominated Sri Lankan politics.
萨莱被指控与伊斯兰极端分子策划爆炸事件。 这些指控与英国广播公司 Channel 4 2023 年播出的一部纪录片中的指控相呼应,该纪录片听取了举报人的证词,声称允许这些袭击发生是为了提高长期主导斯里兰卡政坛的拉贾帕克萨家族的声望。
Sallay, who was arrested in February, denies the allegations.
萨莱于二月份被捕,他否认这些指控。
Former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who was elected months after the 2019 attacks, with a campaign of tackling Islamist extremism has also denied the allegations. Rajapaksa, who has been banned from leaving the country, has asked the court to prevent his potential arrest in connection with the ongoing investigations.
前总统戈塔巴亚·拉贾帕克萨 (Gotabaya Rajapaksa) 在 2019 年袭击事件发生几个月后当选,发起了一场打击伊斯兰极端主义的运动,他也否认了这些指控。 拉贾帕克萨已被禁止离开该国,他要求法院阻止他因正在进行的调查而可能被捕。
