Arumugam Rajeevan, 41, of Old Toongabbie, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court yesterday, charged with being a member of a terrorist organisation and financing and providing assets to a terrorist organisation between 2002 and May this year. Prosecutor Mark Dean, SC, told the court Rajeevan was a member of the Tamil Co- ordinating Committee, an arm of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, and had met with the movement's leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran, in October 2003. He said police had seized photographs of Rajeevan and Prabhakaran - the man wanted for the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 and a Colombo bombing in the late 1990s that killed more than 90 civilians. The accountant had also allegedly moved about $600,000 through a bank account connected to the movement that he was a signatory to, Mr Dean said. The charges follow the arrest of Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 32, of Mount Waverley, and Sivarajah Yathavan, 36, of Vermont South, in May this year. Rajeevan's lawyer, Sam Norton, said his client would apply for bail next week. The magistrate remanded Rajeevan in custody until August 23.
