Meanwhile, police are investigating a murder case involving wiretapped conversations of the suspect's friends. Helsinki authorities are also issuing warnings about potential traffic chaos caused by two opposing demonstrations planned for the city. In other news, Finland has acquired a powerful new defensive weapon system. On a more personal note, a social media star has passed away, and charges of environmental damage in Rusko were dismissed.
