Summary

Several Finnish Members of Parliament (MPs) have reported suspected intrusions into their homes over the past year, with no signs of forced entry or theft, but signs such as doors left open or lights turned on without recollection. Parliamentary Speaker Jussi Halla-aho described the incidents as 'significant' and suggested the signs might have been deliberately left to indicate entry. The exact number of MPs affected is fewer than 20, with no common political or demographic profile identified. The Finnish Police have launched a preliminary investigation with support from the National Bureau of Investigation. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo raised the possibility of foreign interference, including risks of election interference, especially with elections approaching. President Alexander Stubb called such attacks an attack on democracy.

Classification

Confidence: High

The suspected break-ins are targeted at political figures (MPs), with deliberate signs left behind indicating an intention to intimidate or send a message. The involvement of possible foreign interference further supports the hostile hybrid nature of the activity.
