Closed Sanction individuals linked to illegal activities in Sri Lanka.

Closed on

We are calling the UK Government to sanction individuals linked to illegal activities in Sri Lanka, so that assets and money in the UK can be identified, then frozen and confiscated and the funds repatriated to Sri Lanka for the benefit of the citizens of Sri Lanka.

It is widely reported that many individuals connected with Sri Lanka have obtained funds by various illegal methods and go on to invest it outside of their country through various entities.

These illegal activities are often disguised as genuine business contracts and investments, that enable ill-gotten funds to be invested abroad in the disguise of genuine investments. These investments should be targeted.
