The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appellant's appeal against the termination of their right to receive information regarding criminal proceedings. The appellant argued that the termination violated their rights under the Act on the Right to Information on Criminal Proceedings, while the prosecution contended that the proceedings had concluded without a conviction. The court ruled that since no criminal conviction was pronounced, the statutory obligation to provide information on the proceedings did not apply, thereby justifying the termination.
