🔥 Arsonist

An individual responsible for setting an apartment building on fire has been sentenced to a lengthy prison term following a court decision. The court rejected the defense presented by the man who ignited his apartment on Sõle street. Separately, Minister of Social Affairs Karmen Joller is facing scrutiny over her policies, with an opinion piece questioning the value of her signature and suggesting Estonia might be creating wartime living conditions. Calls have also been made for Joller to take decisive action regarding school closures. In other news, a police investigator was caught on video allegedly sneaking into a women's locker room to harass a colleague. The Auvere power plant has experienced another breakdown, and basketball player Kerr Kriisa has pleaded guilty in a 2.2 million euro fraud case, agreeing to a plea deal.
