(Lanka-e-News- 04.Dec.2013, 8.30PM) The Italian Intelligence service had revealed that Sri Lanka (SL) criminal defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse on his recent tour of Italy has met a prominent LTTE cadre recognized still as an international terrorist.
The Italian State intelligence service which launched on an anti terrorist campaign D. I. G. O. S. conducted an operation to arrest 35 LTTE terrorist frontline leaders at one time on 17 th June 2008 . On that day 33 LTTE leaders were arrested at various places , while two others made good their escape. Later one of the LTTE escapees had surrendered but the other LTTE leader had not so far been apprehended.
The notorious criminal defense secretary Gotabaya well noted for illicit deals and establishing illicit connections with terrorists and arms dealers had on his Italian tour somehow met the LTTE leader who the Italian intelligence service could not arrest. The Italian intelligence service had received information confirming this meeting .
The LTTE leader who was absconding the Italian intelligence service had arrived at the hotel where the SL criminal defense secretary was staying and met with him. However what transpired or what transactions took place between them is still not known. CCTV cameras however have confirmed the meeting between Gotabaya the criminal defense secretary and the criminal LTTE leader who is evading arrest.
One of the parties to the Euros in millions account belonging to a group of three LTTE leaders is this LTTE leader who met Gota . As the three of them had got separated , and since the SL security division has got information on this , not one has so far come to the open to make claims .
It has also been confirmed that two secret teams of Banks in St. Marino have also met Gotabaya at the Hotel where he stayed.
It is a cruel irony that while the Italian government is still considering LTTE as an internationally proscribed organization , the SL government is getting down LTTE leaders into this country and giving protection secretly , not to mention having clandestine discussions and transactions with those leaders abroad . This is a clear index that the SL government is supporting and stoking international terrorism , the Italian intelligence service sources pointed out.
In the circumstances , the Italian intelligence services is getting ready to take action through the diplomatic channels
