Finnish police are investigating a suspected €25 million investment fraud after a private individual lost funds through what authorities believe was a fake online investment platform created for criminal purposes.
The case, which police are treating as aggravated fraud, ranks among the largest suspected investment scams ever investigated in Finland. Authorities believe a single victim from southern Finland suffered the loss.
The investigation began in May after the victim filed a criminal complaint. According to police, the suspected offences took place several months earlier.
