Former Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa has reportedly arrived at  Financial Crimes Investigations Division (FCID) of police to give a statement regarding the allegations of financial fraud against him.

The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption and the Financial Crimes Investigations Division (FCID) of Sri Lanka police have received several complaints against the former minister.

The FCID wants to question Basil Rajapaksa on the misuse of a fund under the Ministry of Economic Development.

The accusations have been leveled on spending gratuity funds of the Divi Neguma Department for the presidential election and spending Rs. 70 million for a summit.
