A military lawyer working for the Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) has been charged with revealing a national secret as well as a breach of duty offence.
The lawyer is suspected of using a messaging app to share a photo taken in an area where photography was prohibited.
The crime is suspected to have taken place in the autumn of 2024, while the charges were filed at Helsinki District Court last month. The court has not yet set a hearing date.
Revealing a national secret is considered treason in Finland, and the maximum penalty for the crime is four years imprisonment.
