“The case is serious and extensive and will be thoroughly investigated in close cooperation with officials,” reads press release from KRP.
MTV on Friday reported that the subjects of the crime were prosecutors Raija Toiviainen and the Minister of the Interior Maria Ohisalo (Green). It wrote that the information was confirmed by both KRP and Heikki Stenius, the district prosecutor in charge of investigations into police crimes in Finland.
The prosecutor’s office tweeted that Stenius was not investigating any suspected crimes against Ohisalo or Toiviais.
Helsingin sanomat newspaper wrote that it has received information showing that the group of shooting enthusiasts at the heart of the case includes a senior sergeant from the Helsinki Police Department. According to the investigation, it also appears to be seeking to determine whether the officer has leaked classified police information.
Sanna Springare, The officer in charge of the KRP investigation, was careful about the details of the case and only stated that the case related to a far-right group of people and had dealt with plans against groups considered to be enemies. However, no professional politician is among the plaintiffs, he stressed to the newspaper.
