Former Minister Basil Rajapaksa left for the United States on Saturday for medical treatment, a spokesman for the Sri Lanka Podujana Party said.

Rajapaksa whose passport was impounded was recently allowed to go abroad by Court. Rajapaksa, a member of the Sri Lanka Podujana Party (SLPP) sought the Colombo High Court’s permission to temporary lift his travel ban.

Rajapaksa was arrested by the FCID on July 18 over an allegation of misappropriating Rs. 36.5 million funds belonging to the Divi Neguma Development Department to purchase and distribute GI pipes during the last presidential election. He was later released on bail.
