(October ,20, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) After nearly two years on the run, one of the the LTTE’s top Arm’s, Narcotics and Money Laundering Agent identified as Kanagalingam Ramanasaijeeswaran otherwise known as “Warren” or “Chooty” has been arrested in London, UK after allegedly making death threats to members of the Eelam Revolutionary Organisation (EROS) a democratic Sri Lankan Tamil political organisation and party who are opposed to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
It is learnt that death threat’s were made by telephone to senior members of EROS which resulted in Ramanasaijeeswaran’s arrest. It is said that he is presently on bail pending a full investigation by the UK’s Metropolitan Police. Kanagalingam Ramasaijeeswaran is one of the LTTE’s senior Arm’s, Narcotics and Money Laundering Agent’s who is said to hold a British passport and a fake Liberian Diplomatic passport. He is also said to have residency visa’s to reside in Singapore and Dubai, where the LTTE is said to launder most of their funds from the United States, Canada and UK.
Kanagalingam Ramanasaijeeswaran who was born in Sri Lanka fled from the United Kingdom in 2005/2006 and has been on the run since and has been living in hiding. It is believed that he is soley responsible for stealing and extorting ten's of thousands of UK pounds from Sri Lankan Tamils in the UK and elsewhere and is said to have fled to Colombo, Sri Lanka. Between 2003 and 2006 Mr Kanagalingam Ramanasaijeeswaran extorted over £250,000 UK sterling and laundered this money for the LTTE to fund their terrorist war campaign against the Sri Lankan Government and Armed Forces by making multiple trips to Sri Lanka, India. He also made frequent trips to Liberia for arms deals on behalf of the LTTE and was a close associate of the LTTE’s “KP” who was recently arrested in Thailand.
Kanagalingam Ramasaijeeswaran was said to have taken vast sums of money to Liberia to bribe Government officials and obtain a Diplomatic passport. He is also said to have been responsible for registering ships indirectly owned by the LTTE in Liberia.
He is described by many Sri Lankan Tamils in the UK who have had money stolen or extorted from them to be a higly trained con-artist of the LTTE who always openly boasted about his connections with the LTTE leadership in Vanni. He is said to be have been very close to the LTTE’s Intelligence Head “Pottu Amman” who has for many years tolerated his play-boy lifestyle given the fact that he has been a great asset to the LTTE. The Sri Lankan authorities are liasing with the UK’s anti-Terrorist branch of the Metropolitan Police to see if he can be detained under the “Prevention of Terrorism Act”.
It is learnt that the Kanagalingam Ramanasaijeeswaran was frequently residing right in the heart of Colombo at 14, Lorenz Road, Colombo 4, Sri Lanka where he was responsible for financing the LTTE Intelligence Agents present in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is not known why the LTTE dispatched him back to the UK although it is said that Kanagalingam Ramanasaijeeswaran was in New York, USA a couple of weeks ago before the bust up by the NYPD and FBI and led to the arrests of key LTTE agents involved in a plot to steal $250,000 from ATM’s.
