The Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (KRP) made a statement on Wednesday that it is looking into suspicions of a national security secret leak.

The KRP does not intend to reveal the details of the case. However, Erkki Rossi, head of the inquiry, told the Finnish News Agency (STT) that the investigation began during the summer of last year and has been conducted in cooperation with the Finnish Security Police (Supo).

The national security secret leak is suspected of having taken place in 2004. In addition, two cases of suspected fraud are also part of the ongoing investigation. They are to have taken place between 2004 and 2009.

Police have confiscated materials from at least the Population Register Centre and the company Fujitsu Services.

The investigation is to be sent to the Helsinki district prosecutor this month.
