In the city In Lahti, Finland, a trial is underway involving three Finns accused of crimes with terrorist motives, in particular, the intention to kill the country's former Prime Minister Sanna Marin. Helsingin Sanomat writes about this.
“The main defendant in the terrorism case put forward the idea of assassinating then Prime Minister Sanna Marin in Lahti Market Square in August 2022,” the publication said.
The police believe that the defendants previously organized a radical anti-immigration far-right group that was preparing for terrorist attacks, the publication writes. The group is suspected of producing functional automatic weapons using 3D printing.
Law enforcement officers seized four firearms made on a 3D printer, but their functionality may be challenged in the courtroom, the newspaper concludes. Along with the weapons, more than 1.5 thousand cartridges were confiscated.
