The anti-money laundering brach of the Luxembourg State Prosecution Service announced last week that it has frozen six bank accounts containing funds of a suspect origin.
Since the September 11th attacks, the authorities have received around 40 alerts from banks and financial institutions in the jurisdiction, and the head of the anti-money laundering unit is said to have ordered the freezes as a result of several of these reports.
Short of revealing that none of the frozen accounts actually directly belonged to Osama bin Laden, but that they may have had links to his organisation, Carlos Zeyen refused to go into detail, but announced that as long as the origin of the funds remained unclear, the accounts would stay frozen.
