Helsinki District Court to deliver verdict in case of former coast guard officer accused of selling police information

The Helsinki District Court is set to deliver a verdict today in a case involving a former coast guard officer accused of selling police information to a drug criminal. The defendant held extensive access rights to the systems of the Border Guard, police, and Customs in his line of work. According to the prosecutor, the man sought information from these systems at the behest of a drug offender, including details on criminal suspicions and ongoing investigations. For his services, he allegedly received a payment of at least 1,800 euros, as stated in the charges. The prosecutor is calling for prison sentences for both individuals involved. Both have denied the allegations.
