The revelation by a Sunday newspaper (not the Sunday Island) last week that the Sri Lankan government had moved courts in ‘a Middle Eastern country’ to freeze the account of the ‘son of a VVIP of the former regime’ set the cat among the canaries. The courts were to freeze the account last Sunday (since Islamic countries work on Sundays) but we have not heard anything about it thereafter. Be that as it may the government officially confirmed last week that not one but three secret accounts had been discovered in the Middle East, one containing 1,086 million USD, another holding 1,800 million USD and yet another with 500 million USD. The account that was to be frozen last Sunday was said to be the one containing 500 million USD. It was also said that a sum of 650 million USD had been transferred from this particular account to ‘an Eastern European country’ some time ago.
