10 Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers arrested in Switzerland

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

BERN—Swiss prosecutors say 10 members of the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers group have been arrested in Switzerland.

Prosecutors said Tuesday the arrests were made during searches of 23 premises across the alpine country. Authorities said they are suspected of money laundering and membership of a criminal organization.

Officials said they believe the suspects for years forced Sri Lankans abroad to contribute several million Swiss francs (dollars) to the Tamil Tiger organization.

The Tamil Tigers lost a 25-year civil war in 2009 after the military crushed separatist forces which claimed to be fighting against decades of discrimination by Sri Lanka’s ethnic Sinhalese majority.

Если действие будет вести за собой всю систему, результатом станет спецократия.

Одна из принципиальных проблем связана с тем фактом, что люди привыкнут не иметь одной постоянной работы
