The one in Toronto seems to be the mother house. A seizure of 18 hard discs in Toronto is very relevant to the investigation in Montreal."It indicates a transfer or manipulation of money from Montreal to Toronto, then to other countries," the ruling says."Concerning the transfer of money from WTM to the Tiger Tamil [Sic], the investigation establishes the money is transiting through Toronto and through other countries and then to bank accounts in Sri Lanka."Project CRIBLE, the investigation of the WTM's Montreal office, began in 2003 but when the Conservatives proscribed the Tigers under the Anti-Terrorism Act last April, a suspect was seen removing boxes from the building and police executed search warrants.The WTM's head office in Scarborough, Ont., was also searched as part of a related RCMP investigation called Project OSALUKI.A year later, police are still going over the thousands of items they seized in the searched.
