Belgium takes SF’s aide to court
The Attorney General’s department (AG) is to file legal action on behalf of Belgium against an aide of General Sarath Fonseka (SF), who is wanted in that country over an illegal money transfer case, CID sources told Daily Mirror online.
According to the CID sources Belgium authorities are likely to visit Sri Lanka soon to file action through the Attorney Generals department to recover the money which has been illegally transferred to a local branch of an international bank in Sri Lanka by Senaka De Silva, a coordinating secretary of General Sarath Fonseka who is now in custody.
The Coordinating secretary of General Fonseka had been sentenced in absentia and imprisoned for two years in Belgium for illegal money transfers, which he is said to have conducted using the internet, the CID sources added.
Meanwhile when contacted by Daily Mirror online the Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry said that Sri Lanka has not had any request for Senaka De Silva to be extradited to face the charges against him.
The Belgium embassy in Colombo also said they were not aware of any requests to send Senaka De Silva to Belgium to be tried in Court over money transfer allegations.
Senaka de Silva was arrested together with General Fonseka over conspiring to assassinate President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his family as well as several other allegations. Senaka de Silva was a captain of the STF and had retired from service several years ago. (Daily Mirror online)
