Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

The following new section is hereby inserted immediately after section 12 of the principal enactment and shall have effect as section 12a of that enactment: -

12a. Where, upon receipt of any document or information ordered to be delivered or furnished under subsection (1) of section 12, such police officer has reasonable grounds to believe that any other property-

(a)

is connected to the property which is subject to the Freezing Order issued under section 7; or

(b)

has been derived or realised from any unlawful activity and is connected to the property which is subject to the

Freezing Order, then such police officer shall issue a Freezing

Order in relation to such connected property in terms of the provisions of section 7.”.
