    Helsingin Sanomat classified-document disclosure

    Helsingin Sanomat published an investigation based on leaked Defence Forces documents concerning the Intelligence Research Centre. The publication described aspects of monitoring directed at the Russian Armed Forces and prompted a criminal investigation. Finnish authorities treated the disclosure as a serious national-security matter, while the case also generated debate about press freedom and public oversight of intelligence agencies.
