Supreme Court dismisses forgery charges against a TV card maker due to statute of limitations expiration.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the prosecution's charges against A, who manufactured and sold satellite TV access cards containing microchips. The prosecution alleged forgery and possession of forged materials, but the defense successfully argued that the statute of limitations had expired. The court ruled that the time limits for prosecution had passed before the case could be adjudicated, resulting in the dismissal of the criminal charges.
