Court suspends TRO funds for six months

COLOMBO: The Colombo High Court yesterday suspended the accounts operated by the Tamil Rehabilitating Organisation (TRO) for six months.

The Attorney General made application on behalf of the Financial Investigating Unit of the Central Bank to facilitate their investigation.

The Attorney General sought the order in terms of Section 15 of the Financial Transactions Reporting Act and the Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Financing Act No. 25 of 2005 which was enacted to give effect to the United Nation's Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Financing adopted to which Sri Lanka was a signatory.

In terms of the petition, TRO personnel in many foreign countries had been allegedly involved in terrorist financing.

Theses funds had been channelled to the TRO office in Sri Lanka through the Sri Lankan Banking System purported to be used for humanitarian projects.
