Under iron grip of Tigers:

LTTE leaders in Netherlands played key role in funding SL war -Dutch judiciary

Info obtained from

* Ramachandran S
* Had “plans for financial activities”

The Dutch judiciary said that Tiger leaders in the Netherlands have played a prominent role in financing the war in Sri Lanka. The 10,000 Tamils in the Netherlands were under the iron grip of the guerilla group, states Radio Netherlands in a report published yesterday.

The Dutch judiciary says that Tiger leaders in the Netherlands have played a prominent role in financing the war in Sri Lanka. The 10,000 Tamils in the Netherlands, police say, were under the iron grip of the Tigers.

Meanwhile, Tiger representatives in places like Schagen, The Hague, Breda, Zeist, Raalte and Ammerzoden had yet to capitulate. The Dutch police said that until their arrest in 2010, the Dutch Tamils had remained active in raising funds and organising meetings to gather support for their struggle and liberation organisation.

This came to light through digital information obtained from Ramachandran S., 52, a Dutch Tamil from Schagen who was arrested in April last year. He had “plans for financial activities” in his possession, which called for continued fundraising to support the remaining LTTE warriors hidden in the jungles of northern Sri Lanka. For that purpose, a new fund was supposed to be set up under Ramachandran’s supervision, according to a judicial report on the investigation.
