The CID informed Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama today (22) that 6,000 out of 10,000 gold items recovered in the Northern and Eastern provinces during the humanitarian operation and linked to the LTTE have been handed over to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
The items were examined by the National Gem and Jewellery Authority on court orders before transfer. The CID submitted this information in an additional progress report when the case was taken up.
Investigations continue to determine whether the LTTE obtained the gold voluntarily from residents or seized it by force.
