New info on Russian property deals in Finland

Happy Times · 04-30-10, 08:48 AM

Year ago came the first reports of weird deals about Russian nationals buing property near strategic military installations.

More deals have been found by the journalists investigating them, civil and military intelligence officials dont want to comment the issue.

But generals have voiced their protest, off the record, that politicians dont take the threat seriously.

The Russian seem to be buying either cheap discarded property or others with greatly over the market price.

Some are occupied by people with suspicious background stories and in other cases the owners are no where to be found.

The new info reveals that most of the most strategic locations, intelligence, command posts and installations needed in the mobilisation of the army, are covered.

Many locations have warehouses built after the property was bought.

If Finland is as uninteresting as some people and politicians claim then this should wake even them.

Russia has more known intelligence personnel in Finland than in UK for instance.
And how many more possible "sleepers" in the 50.000 Russians in the country?

Only Finnish sources for now but i will post if some English reports appear.
