A suspected supporter and financer of the LTTE has been arrested in Germany and was produced in Court, the German media reported today. He had reportedly been collecting funds for the LTTE since 2002 in Germany.

The 61-year-old man, who was also involved in armed robbery, collected funds for the Tamil Coordinating Committee (TCC) which is the German arm of the LTTE. The LTTE has been listed by the European Union since May 2006 as a terrorist organization.

The TCC has been collecting funds from Tamils living in Germany and transferred it to the LTTE in Sri Lanka, the German media reported.
