Bank accounts of LTTE London leader frozen
A British Court yesterday froze all bank accounts of London LTTE king pin Shanthan alias Krishnatha Kumar and of his wife.
The Westminster Court which ruled on the matter also ordered that indictment against Shanthan be served before July 30. Since hard core criminals of the calibre of Shanthan are not produced before British law courts in person, video footage of the suspect was screened at the Westminster Court before the ruling was made.
A plea by a law firm that the suspect be granted bail was also rejected by Court.
Britain's Anti- Terrorism Unit had filed 28 charges against Shanthan including extortion, operation of business enterprises, printing press and oil storages with ill-gotten wealth.
Those employed at these enterprises were exclusively LTTE members, it was revealed.
The money earned by these business ventures as at July 2 is a staggering 4 billion sterling pounds.
The money thus earned had been utilised to purchase weapons to attack the Lankan Navy from China and Israel and outfits such as PPK.
