The Eastern Finland police department has launched a preliminary investigation after the husband of a Finns Party Member of Parliament is suspected of serious defamation on social media against a local newspaper's editor-in-chief.
The spouse in question is the husband of MP Minna Reijonen (Finns Party). He has distributed insulting posts online about a local newspaper's editor-in-chief. These posts have provided grounds to suspect a criminal offence, which is why police are taking action.
The case is related to an incident in which the editor-in-chief's family members died in an accident. This event was part of the defamatory posts. Police have stated that there are sufficient grounds to suspect a criminal offence.
