UPFA MP Johnston Fernando was released on bail a short while ago by the Kurunegala High Court.

He was arrested by police Financial Crimes Investigations Division on May 5 after his arrival at FCID to give a statement on complaints of financial fraud at Lak Sathosa.

Fernando had allegedly been involved in a financial fraud at Lak Sathosa, amounting to more than Rs. 5 million.

He was in remand custody after his arrest.

However, the AG Department did not raise objections to the bail application when it was considered today at the Kurunegala High Court.
